An L.A. Super Bowl Snack Menu

Los Angeles may not have a presence in the Super Bowl — heck, we don’t even field a team at all — but there’s no reason we have to be excluded from the partying. Or the fantastic snacks, which everyone knows is the real reason for the (end of the football) season.

What Los Angeles lacks in a football team we make up for in delicious, regional party bites that make use of the ingredients and ingenuity native to Southern California. Here’s our L.A. Super Bowl party snack menu. Click the links to get the recipes, and enjoy!

Sriracha Chicken Wings: Sriracha is made in the San Gabriel Valley, and it’s practically a law that every house in SoCal keep a bottle of it at all times. Here it’s added to the most classic of sports-related recipes.

Furikake Kettle Corn: Roy Choi is a food innovator — after all he created the Kogi food truck empire. At his Palms restaurant A-Frame, he throws popcorn together with everything from chile flakes to Corn Pops. And bacon, of course.

Ground Beef and Pickle Tacos: Malo’s “East L.A.-style Chicano food” is pure comfort, and these tacos are a highlight of the menu. They’re simple to make, and absurdly delicious.

Live in Los Angeles? Have a TAP card?

drinkthe-koolaid:

Congratulations, you’re screwed.

Recently, and with as little publicity and fanlfare as possible, Metro changed the way TAP cards work. There are no more monthly passes, now they’re good for 30 days from the date you activate it. So what does this mean? Well most users will end up having to purchase at least one more “monthly” pass every year to cover the leftover days.

That’s an extra $75.00 being foisted on the people who, in general, can least afford it. Chances are, if you have a monthy TAP card, it’s because you can’t afford a car. In other words, you’re poor.

I am so sick of every organization or business in America consciously taking advantage of the poorest Americans. You want to rip someone off? Rip off those who can afford it.

Fuckers.

Suits could force L.A. to spend huge sums on sidewalk repair: The civil rights actions claim that broken sidewalks and missing curb ramps violate the Americans With Disabilities Act. The city could be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars.

An unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking, Act of Valor stars a group of active-duty Navy SEALs in a powerful story of contemporary global anti-terrorism. Inspired by true events, the film combines stunning combat sequences, up-to-the minute battlefield technology and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure.

Act of Valor takes audiences deep into the secretive world of the most elite, highly trained group of warriors in the modern world. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot against the U.S., a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. As the valiant men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that could kill and wound thousands of American civilians, they must balance their commitment to country, team and their families back home.

Each time they accomplish their mission, a new piece of intelligence reveals another shocking twist to the deadly terror plot, which stretches from Chechnya to the Philippines and from Ukraine to Somalia. The widening operation sends the SEALs across the globe as they track the terrorist ring to the U.S.-Mexico border, where they engage in an epic firefight with an outcome that has potentially unimaginable consequences for the future of America.

The Best Grapefruit Dishes in L.A.

Citrus is a fruit often associated with Christmas, but the growing season lasts all winter long in many areas, and as such, February has been deemed National Grapefruit Month.

Though the fruits are delicious plain - or, you know, broiled with a ton of brown sugar - they are also excellent ingredients in salads and dessert and with main. Here are some of our favorite grapefruit dishes around the city. Where have you enjoyed the best grapefruit? Tell us in the comments!
