The best things I ate, with highlights in Monday’s @latimes column:
This week’s column was inspired by @wolfiesmom and her Sunday morning apple fritters. Read the column for more / why I don’t do resolutions but I’m committing to more apple fritters this year and other things and people who bring me joy. This is the apple fritter from @mifavoritedonuts at Monarch Donuts in Arcadia. Unlike any other fritter, it’s my favorite in the city.
More great apple fritters @mr.goodsdonuts in Pasadena. A little more traditional than the Monarch version with that glossy sheath of icing that cracks and plenty of crunchy nubs you can pick off. A true work of doughnut art! If you’ve got a favorite apple fritter please drop it in the comments below.
The Little Tony @lasorteds . Fried mortadella is the way to my 💘
Their Lonely Guy fries (with fried garlic, garlic oil and parmesan) are also 💯
Gimbap from @soonheene_arcadia
Whole fish from the new @zaytinya . It’s not a sexy dish but it’s the best whole grilled fish I’ve had in a long while. Perfectly cooked and very well seasoned.
And a few recipes I made for New Year’s Eve that I’m keeping on rotation:
@ericjoonho’s chicken karaage from @nytcooking with all my favorite banchan from @hmartofficial and a three dipping sauces I whipped up for the chicken (cilantro lime, miso vinaigrette and spicy mayo).
I brought the BDE to NYE with @alysewhitney ‘s tuna melt dip from her Big Dip Energy cookbook. All the melty gooey goodness of a tuna melt in dip form.
