I was at the same discussion, and while I agree that they spent some time focusing on organic, farm fresh, sustainable type of cooking. I also feel like they spent a good deal of time speaking up the fact that we are a melting pot of cultures. And our access to shipping ports, diverse communities, ethnic markets, and ultimately, our cuisine reflect that. Cimarusti said he spends a lot of time checking out new and exciting produce at various ethnic markets around town, namely a large market in K-town and Mitsuwa downtown. I feel like that large scope of ethnic pockets around LA represents LA food more than, what Gold pointed out, was a Los Angeles burrito he saw on a menu in Cleveland had sprouts and sun flower seeds in it. Unfortunately, Hollywood's low fat, organic, macrobiotic, natural, and local food fanfare steals the limelight away from what real Los Angeles food is. Great write up Matt.
