I was surprised myself how hard I took the news that the newsletter was leaving, I am THRILLED LA will still be covered!! (I live and die by the LA Plugs map!)
The bicoastal model makes way more sense than trying to maintain credibility in a city you no longer live in. Food writing is so hyperlocal that trying to cover a scene remotely always feels hollow. Had a similar situation with a publication I worked with where teh writer kept covering a city they'd left two years prior and it showed in every piece - all the energy was gone. The localdaily-eating perspective you mention is what actually matters, not the occasional parachute-in takes. Smart move bringing Jamie in for LA coverage rather than trying to stretch thin.

Thank you! I agree obviously :)
I’m so excited for this!!!!!!!!! Love this and can’t wait for all that is to come 👏
Thrilled to hear this!
Jamie is such a great pick for this! Excited that you’re keeping LA going 🎉
Have you had the Plum Sesame Seeds from SOS? We keep them stocked at the house - good on ANYTHING.
I almost got those, too! But decided to restrain myself. Will need to get some though, I feel like they'd be amazing on yogurt...?
We eat them on quite literally anything, but our evening snack is cottage cheese with the seeds, good olive oil, and flaky salt.
Running to SOS asap
