More weekend news. Can I type while dancing?
BAKER’S BENCH IS CLOSED. ALL WEEKEND. NO VEGAN PASTRIES FOR YOU. JEN YEE IS MAXIN’ AND RELAXIN’.
Here’s the update on the Hamburgers Nice menu for their third-year anni. Estrano is headlining and he brought back the Crunchwrap Supreme Lasagna, you monsters. Hamburgers Nice has an OG Breakfast Burger and is maybe doing a collab with Estrano. Ambitious Ales made a special beer for the occasion and in a video story, they are kissing and spraying each other with beer. Vegetarian and vegan options are available at this hamburger party, so vegs and vegans are welcome here. Also, why does everyone like Taco Bell?

very happy to be able to pull this off with the people behind these food projects. food popups are a grind. creating community within this sector of the universe has been one of the the best parts about starting HN. very fortunate to be able to work alongside people we like.
the food is good but the people are better ❤️”
What will Angelenos stand in line for? Food, concerts, films.
Konbi is officially in soft open phase at One Culver. They have been getting slammed every single day with 45 minutes lines. I went by this morning and the line was pretty long. I got in on Friday, the wait was a little long, but it was totally worth it. Mike, the guy in charge at this location gave me the download on the croissants and I can’t wait to reveal this info.
Speaking of Smorgasburg, there are only two more weekends for ICE CREAM ALLEY at Smorgasburg which means there are only two more weekends for you to get Sad Girl Creamery's delectable ice cream tacos. Don’t front like you actually liked Choco Tacos, carnal. SueEllen Mancini has two ice cream tacos that smoke Choco Tacos any day of the week and a Mangonada drumstick that is her secret weapon. I may actually love that Mangonada a tiny bit more than the ice cream tacos and I think the Che and the Strawberry Taco are fantastic. BTW: the cones are hand and homemade. Check this out from Mancini’s Insta. “Did you know we make all our taco waffle cones from scratch? We use our very own special brown butter Mexican vanilla waffle batter recipe and toast them to golden perfection in the waffle iron. The mastermind behind making them the same shape and size is my mama!” Also, here’s your reminder that Sad Girl is scooping and making beer and cider floats at Benny Boy Brewing Today.
More reminders: Evil Cooks will be open and extremely metal today from 4-7 pm at 2461 N Eastern Ave. They’ll also be at Smorgasburg tomorrow with their normal menu and their BBQ collab with A’s BBQ. Did I mention all this includes their Black Pastor tacos, their Poseidon or Black pulpo or octopus tacos, their divine dessert tacos like El Bruja or flan taco, and that A’s BBQ Brisket in a donut collab? Well, I just did.
My brain circuits are sizzling when I try to think of other things that I could tell you, so it’s time to end this newsletter. I’m sure there’s more, this being the major food city that is Los Angeles, but I need to reload my cerebral cortex.
