The Gumbo Pot
Simply perfect Cajun cooking has made this spot an all-time favorite for locals and visitors alike. The beignets are phenomenal (try them drizzled with chocolate!), the gumbo is fantastic, the po’boys are perfect. Be warned: when they tell you that the blackened dishes (fish, chicken, shrimp, even a meat loaf po’boy) are hot, they speak the truth. (Critic Favorite)

Charlie’s Coffee Shop
A great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. No matter what you order – the exquisite French Toast, a great sandwich, a cheeseburger so perfect it's a star on TV and in newspapers – expect to hear the gang behind the counter bellow your name when your order is ready. (Critic Favorite)

L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook
By JoAnn Cianciulli
Photographs by Karl Petzke
From its humble beginnings in 1934, L.A.'s Original Farmers Market has become one of the leading destinations in Southern California. And this comprehensive cookbook celebrates the food, people, and history of this Los Angeles landmark. Mexican, Brazilian, Middle Eastern, and old-fashioned American diner fare are all here, among many others. Readers can re-create more than 75 stand-in-line classics like Chilaquiles Verdes from ¡Lotería! Grill, Falafel Sandwiches from Moishe's, and finish up with decadent Chocolate Fudge from Littlejohn's English Toffee House. Vivid photographs and rare archival images bring the Market to life.
7 x 9-1/4 in; 272 pp ; 85 color photographs
