Otherwise, I’d have directed you to an amazing Mexican food dive in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles. El Tepeyac is a true SoCal institution (at least by LA’s fickle, short-lived standards), and should not be missed the next time you’re in town.

Thanks for the wonderful book. I’ll be hungrily visiting this site often!

Your book is the perfect blend of restaurants we know and those we don’t; and those we agree on and those we don’t. Very much like a good dinner conversation.

Hope LA will be added to your tour.

I’m a native, life-long New Yorker, but I’ve never been to either Japonica or Mariella Pizza, so I’ll have to put them on my go-to list.

When I was in Napa in January, there was so much excitement about the soon-to-open Rotisario, I’m delighted to hear that the reality lived up to the expectations. I loved that market and would happily return in an instant. Ditto, the Ferry Terminal Market, which, I was told, was developed by the same genius who put together Oxbow.

I’m so glad that even with your crazy book-tour schedule you’re finding time to enjoy the local scene and to share it with us.
