About How to Eat LA

Celebrating unheralded and/or culturally significant restaurants in Los Angeles County through intelligent, accessible, and independent journalism. And helping everyone find them!

Katherine Spiers is an independent journalist and food anthropologist who has written for the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, KCET/PBS SoCal, Eater LA, LA Taco, and Rogue 99, among others. Katherine is also the producer and host of the award-winning Smart Mouth, a popular food culture podcast and newsletter. 

Inspired by the work of thinkers like Jonathan Gold, Dana Goodyear, and Anthony Bourdain, Katherine covers unsung restaurants across L.A. With quick picks and full reviews that consider the context of L.A.'s fascinating history and complex culture (plus some fun dives into L.A.'s long-gone classics), How To Eat L.A. is about appreciating the whole breadth of the county, from the perspective of an insider who's always learning more.
