Jonathan Gold is the Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer for the LA Times. This week he reviews Madcapra, a California-inspired falafel counter at the Grand Central Market.

Madcapra

Grand Central Market

317 S Broadway

Los Angeles, CA 90013

He cautions not to expect a classic falafel sandwich but finds the green, red and orange falafels untraditional but delicious. He also recommends the eggplant salad and the beet and sumac soda.

You can find all of his restaurant recommendations on the Good Food blog.
