Things to Do in California: 8 Spots From Eater
This guide turns The Dirty Fried Chicken Sandwich That Has LA Obsessed — Plateworthy from Eater into a practical travel guide map with 8 saved spots around Flower Park, Highland Park, and Ocean Park.

Use it to understand the places, dishes, and trip context before saving the map in Varedelo.
What the creator captured
Eater host Nyesha Arrington explored the diverse culinary landscape of Los Angeles by visiting chefs who blend personal heritage with professional technique. She highlighted the emotional power of food, from the nostalgic 'alley churros' in Highland Park to the legacy-driven 'dirty chicken' at Augie's on Main. The journey culminated in South LA, where she celebrated the fusion of community and culture through innovative dishes like collard green lasagna.
