Genre-bending Japanese-French chef Akira Hirose dies at 70

LA Times  

Akira Hirose, a chef who bridged Japanese and French cuisine for decades across some of L.A.’s most influential restaurants, has died at 70. “Having one foot in Japan, one foot in France and one foot here — straddling that line — he wasn’t a Japanese man, he wasn’t a French man, he wasn’t American,” said his son, Azay owner Philip …

A new Cypress Park taqueria brings a taste of Tijuana — from the family behind a popular TJ taco chain

LA Times  

A new Tijuana-style taquería in Cypress Park is pressing fresh handmade tortillas to order and filling them with 24-hour-marinated meats and hearty scoops of guacamole, with customers lining the counter stools late into the night under a sign that reads “MORE TACOS LESS BORDERS.” “We’re trying to bring Tijuana to Los Angeles,” said Taquería Frontera owner Juan Carlos “J.C.” Guerra. …

The Gudetama Cafe in Buena Park is an ode to Sanrio’s lazy egg, serving egg-topped katsu sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches and more. The opening of Orange County’s Gudetama Cafe has been anything but “meh.” Lines wrapped through the Buena Park Downtown Mall parking lot on its May 4 opening day, when hundreds of fans showed up to try a cafe devoted …

Facing eviction, a beloved Little Tokyo cafe charts its survival in a gentrifying city

LA Times  

After more than half a century serving Little Tokyo — and more than 35 years in its iconic location — family-run Japanese restaurant Suehiro Cafe has moved to downtown’s Historic Core as it faces an eviction lawsuit. “We wanted to make sure that when they come in, there’s something that’s familiar about this place.” Though the sampuru, or plastic, custom-made …

Supermarket sushi you’ll actually want to eat

LA Times  

I tend to grade supermarket sushi on a curve. At one market, there’s a 30-year veteran sushi chef slicing fresh fish, patting the rice and offering omakase. While most Nijiya Markets carry a similar selection of sushi, there’s a fresh food deli along the north wall of the Torrance store that offers a selection of fresh hand rolls. Aburi salmon …

This Little Tokyo restaurant is long gone. But it changed L.A.’s food scene forever

LA Times  

The matchbook flashed like a sunset, its gilt cover catching the light. A World War II-era report from the House of Representatives’ Committee on Un-American Activities alleged that the Central Japanese Assn., an immigrants’ assistance group that had met at Kawafuku in 1939 and 1940, was actually “an arm of the Japanese Government.” The report said that the association’s members …

I am firmly dating myself with this anecdote, but the first time I went to a rave while growing up outside of Chicago, there was a Le Carré-like air of mystery. The third generation of the Tani family is now making the sushi at Sakae, which opened in 1962, and they’ve stayed loyal to the restaurant’s origins, changing almost nothing …

Vance is a joke. “Hillbilly Elegy” became a New York Times bestseller and was even adapted into a critically panned Netflix movie directed by Ron Howard. “Five years ago, Vance was eloquently decoding Donald Trump supporters for liberal elites, while lamenting the rise of Trump himself,” wrote Simon van Zuylen-Wood in a January profile published in the Washington Post Magazine. …
