Migas, LA's Street Food Conundrum, #SaveTheCremeEgg

Hosted by Evan Kleiman Apr. 04, 2015 Food & Drink

We found ourselves back in LA craving a taste of Texas, so this week Evan ventures out to find migas and Jonathan Gold takes us out for brisket at Barrel & Ashes. Plus, we linger on LA's street food conundrum. Why is street vending still illegal on Los Angeles sidewalks? And should food writers be writing about illegal vendors?
