The Best Dishes Eater LA Editors Ate This Year, Mapped

"Much of my last month has been swathed in sickness, as me or my family members succumbed to the miscellaneous RSVs lurking around Los Angeles right now. The remedy to feeling unwell is always soup, of course, and that soup can very often be found in Koreatown. On a crisp fall day, we visited soup and naengmyeon specialist Lee Ga, a new-school favorite popular for its hangover-abating seolleongtangs and cold noodle dishes that spin long, springy buckwheat strands into gold. For whatever reason, the signature gukbap struck me: The ox bone stew, while spicy, was not hot enough to be a throat irritant, and filled with soul-warming ingredients like napa cabbage and other vegetables. I left feeling not only fuller, but a little more whole. — Nicole Adlman, cities manager" - Eater Staff
