It's been a rough week for journalism. I just keep reminding myself of why I became a journalist. Reporting and writing these sort of stories are what keep me going. It's about bringing the world to our readers. @latimes @latimesfood #Guatemala latimes.com/food/story/2024-…

We’ve got a lot to discuss. L.A. food was great when I got here in 1999, and is now almost completely different. This is the clearly the best time to eat in L.A. in history. What will the future look like?
Join us at @laplcentral this Saturday at 10:30am for “Decoding the L.A. Restaurant Scene: 20 Years Past and Future” with Josh Lurie of @foodgps! No reservations necessary for this free talk #DTLA #LArestaurants

Raisins are awesome, but until the propagation of the Thompson Seedless Grape, most raisins had seeds. California gave the world the seedless raisin and grows about 50% of the world supply to this day!
Thanks @CityOfFresno - the raisin capital of the world! #NationalRaisinDay
