"You know it’s going to be a good week when a package you forgot you ordered finally arrives on your doorstep. Oh, and when Chainsaw brings back their strawberry lilikoi sherbet. Sweet and tart, it’s one of our favorite flavors from the Echo Park pop-up, and is available for a limited time only this Friday, May 14th, from 1-6pm. Walk-ups only." - kat hong
"If you’re like us and already know there’s zero chance you’re baking your own pie for Thanksgiving this year, pre-order from Chainsaw starting this Thursday, November 11th. The Eastside pop-up makes some of our favorite desserts in the city, and this year, they’re selling an apple-strawberry-date pie and their famous passionfruit + lime icebox pie for Thanksgiving. Note: Don’t procrastinate, they will sell out. Looking for other Thanksgiving takeout options? Here are 30 more." - brant cox
"In a city filled with some of the best Korean, Mexican, Armenian, and Ethiopian restaurants around, choosing my next meal can sometimes feel like an impossible task, akin to picking a favorite Dev Patel movie. But other times, it’s quite easy - like when I see a freezer full of ice cream on Instagram then immediately DM Chainsaw. The sort-of-secret Echo Park pop-up has been a favorite of mine for a while now, from their mouth-puckering sorbets to vegan smoked potato sandwiches that arrive on crusty baguettes shipped down in a basket. This past weekend (in additional to literally four different flavors of ice cream), I ordered one of their passionfruit + lime side pies - a heavenly, rectangularly shaped dessert that looks like someone slathered a pan pizza in Salvadoran crema and tastes of tangy citrus mixed with ice-cold graham crackers. Basically, exactly what I wanted to eat during a long, unsuccessful weekend of trying to convince my friend to let me borrow her space heater. -KH" - The Infatuation Los Angeles Crew
"I’m going to be really transparent right now - I kind of hate picnics. No matter what park or stretch of dead grass you end up in, there’s always a million bugs, chaotic sitting positions, and the same grocery store dip that you didn’t like from the last picnic. That said, I realized that if I wanted to see any of my friends this year, I needed to get over it. With the help of Chainsaw, I have. This Historic Filipinotown pop-up is run by the former pastry chef at Here’s Looking At You (RIP) and a sous chef at Providence and has wholeheartedly made me appreciate eating on the ground again. They do this fantastic $30 lunchbox on weekends that comes with a salad, a dessert, and an insanely delicious pork shoulder sandwich, but don’t get upset if you can’t get one (they sell out fast). Instead, focus on the homemade pies. I understand it’s hyperbolic to say a place makes the best pie I’ve ever eaten in my life, but Chainsaw does just that. And that’s a sentiment that’ll almost certainly be shared at whatever picnic you show up at." - Brant Cox
