When Chef Liz and Will invited me to hang out with them and go to some of their favorite restaurants in LA, I was very excited. We set off to eat some amazing food in LA area including tacos, Armenian kabobs and Chinese savory pies.

Teddy’s Red Tacos - The first place we ate on this best of Los Angeles food tour is Teddy’s Red Tacos. First of all, Teddy is such a friendly down to earth guy who is passionate about birria, one of my favorite Mexican foods. Serving out of a food truck, we ordered the mixed plate of birria tacos, his made with beef. It was extraordinary, and great to hang out and meet Teddy as well.
Mixed plate - $10

Beijing Pie House - Next we drove East to the Beijing Pie House, another one of Liz’s best favorite restaurants in LA. We ordered a mix of dishes including a variety of dumplings and the highlight was their tripe salad laced in Sichuan pepper oil. If you’re looking for some Northern Chinese dishes, Beijing Pie House is well worth the drive from Central LA.
Total price - $55.70

Mini Kabob - There was one more huge meal we had to eat on this best restaurants in LA food tour. We drove to Glendale where there’s a large population of Armenians, and we met up with Armin, son of the owner of Mini Kabob. Immediately I loved the place, family run, just a small little shop with a few tables, and an ultimately friendly place. They welcomed us in and Armin took care of us from the start, fixing us a mixed meat platter with a little bit of everything. The Armenian kabobs were spectacular, as were all the different salads.
Huge platter - thanks Armin!

Heroic Deli - Finally, to end this restaurants tour of LA, we drove over to meet my friend Jeffrey who is starting a deli in LA called Heroic Deli (www.heroicdeli.com/). Barbara prepared us their signature OMG classic Italian sub, which was unbelievably good and well balanced. When they open in Santa Monica, be sure to stop by for a fantastic sandwich.

Thank you to Liz and Will for taking me around to some of their favorite restaurants in LA, I had an amazing time!

  • My favorite part of your videos is that you always take your family with you. Just because you have a child doesn't mean you can't be adventurous. ♥️

    This is one of the only "Best [Food] ...in LA" videos I've seen that actually is an accurate representation of Los Angeles' food scene. This is what makes me proud of LA! Great video!

Also, the fact that these wonderful people Liz, Will and Jeffrey are there makes this report lively and likeable... and of course these great dishes and your enthusiasm... Thanks for that !

    This video introduced me to teddy's red tacos, so I took a 11 hour drive, just to try them!! And they taste 😋 just amazing 👏
  • @Janhoy723
    That Armenian food looked sooooo good. I love Armenian, Greek and Turkish food, not to mention Thai and Chinese. Thank you Mark for taking me along on your epicurean adventure.
  • @donnybrown7945
    Boy I tell ya,Mike makes it fun to eat cuz he genuinely enjoys just about everything he eats. He would have me trying foods I said I'd NEVER eat! Lol,love your channel bro.
  • Hi Johna, may God keep you strong and may his blessing be upon you and your 👪. Yes these food videos are wonderful. He eats from all over the 🌎 showing us to taste outside the 📦.
  • @BoboandBlahBlah
    Those little background sound from Micah were so sweet to hear 😙😙
  • @jean22scodeexo
    Been going to Mini Kabob for 4years straight. You will never find a place that makes the best Mediterranean food. Hands down the best food ever! They’re very friendly too. The owner (now passed down to the son) talks to his customers like family and treats us like family. If they’re eating watermelon in the back they’ll give some to you freshly cut. Best hospitality you can get at a restaurant! Must try!
  • Mark mad his beautiful family are such fun to watch, and give you that “positive energy vibe”. Love this vlog👌🏼
  • @am-ts8jr
