A sensitive booklet (the 8th from this collective) with many lovely drawings by Robby Herbst, Mehek Mehra, Olivia Russell and Georgia Witchel celebrating the vibrant street food of Los Angeles, and the vendors whose lives are increasingly under threat as ICE steps up their kidnappings and deportations in this city.
From the author/publisher:
Los Angeles is an unequal city of work. Work, most of us have to do it. But the nature of Angelinos’ work is differentiated by the many industries and services coloring the immense landscape. Street-food makes us common; standing on a corner together, delighting in low-cost cuisine, bathed in the city’s cool night air. Llano Del Rio’s new Street-Food Portfolio doesn’t represent the totality of LA’s street-food scene, but provides a view of it.
