10 Droolworthy Finds For Food-Lovers

Food writer, tiny hamster chef, and EaterLA's senior editor Farley Elliott knows his way around the taco scene like no other. When he moved to the city, he made it his mission to eat pretty much every single taco within the LA county borders, which, if you know anything about the City of Angels, is a lot of tacos! Now he's taken his love of the food and turned it into a cheesy, greasy, wish-you-could-lick-the-pages book detailing the history of LA taco trucks, tamale carts, and more urban foods. Do yourself a favor and eat a big meal before diving into Los Angeles Street Food: A History From Tamaleros to Taco Trucks ($17), because it's certainly going to make you hungry!
