Some of the best stories in Los Angeles are hiding in plain sight — on grocery shelves, behind deli counters, in the produce aisle. This November, KCRW’s Good Food and Grocery Goblin invite you to an evening of storytelling inspired by the food all around us.

We’re gathering inside The Golden Poppy Market, the wonderfully whimsical boutique bodega in Cypress Park, for a night of essays, poetry, and stories exploring one delicious theme: Gourmet. 

Hosted by Vanessa Anderson — the culinary anthropologist behind Grocery Goblin — the evening brings stories from Bill Esparza (Eater, Los Angeles Magazine), Emily Wilson (The Angel, T Magazine, Bon Appetit), Alex Tatusian (San Francisco Chronicle), and Cass Marketos (The Rot), with a special introduction from Good Food’s own Evan Kleiman.

Come early to wander the shop, grab a snack, and enjoy a glass of natural wine by Barra Santos.
