If you ever needed to know where to eat along the West Coast, in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, San Diego, Phoenix, and beyond, this is the newsletter for you. If you’re never on the West Coast, you’ve never eaten there, and all you care about is local dining somewhere else — this newsletter is still for you; the West influences restaurants across the nation and the world.
For more than 11 years, I was the lead editor of Eater Los Angeles, shaping the narratives and untangling the restaurant scene of one of America’s most dynamic cities. Now I’m on the prowl to highlight the best in the West, including exciting new trends, noteworthy restaurants and dishes that show where the industry is headed, and intel that only I know (and that you will only see on Eater) from my deep rolodex of industry connections.
Consider this the place to get the scoop from your most voracious and curious friend, someone who will help you cut through the noise of influencers and hype. There will be lots of articles, maps, and videos, both by me and my colleagues here at Eater, that underscore the influential dining trends from the West Coast, too. Kang Town is a true insider’s take on the West Coast’s most noteworthy meals and why they matter.
You should be pretty damn hungry afterward.
