FOOD RUN—a social half marathon through Silver Lake, Echo Park, East Hollywood, and beyond, with stops to refuel at the places defining what L.A. tastes like right now. 100 participants will be selected via lottery.

Running a half marathon is one thing. Doing it with stops for some of LA’s best food is another. The first-ever LA Food Run is happening May 17, turning a 13.1-mile route through Silver Lake, Echo Park, East Hollywood, and beyond into a full-on tasting experience. Participants will hit spots like @quartersheets @courage_bagels @fondry_la @amboy_qualitymeats @tworosela @foundoyster @bubandgrandmasbread and @sqirlla all in one run. The food is free, you skip the lines, and the whole thing is designed more like a social run than a race. There’s just one catch. Only 100 people get in, and spots are being awarded through a lottery that closes May 6, with winners announced the next day. If you don’t get picked, this might be the best excuse to map your own version. By the way, we have a weekly newsletter with what’s worth knowing about and doing in Los Angeles. One newsletter. Once a week. Link in bio. Media via @tipsterla / Shutterstock #mustdolosangeles #lafoodrun #lamarathon

Bakery, diner, and backbone of L.A.’s bread infrastructure. At @bubandgrandmasbread , Andy Kadin scaled a homegrown operation into one of the city’s most relied-on bread programs—supplying top kitchens before opening his own brick-and-mortar in Glassell Park. Get a taste on 05.17.2026.

After years in L.A.’s restaurant world, David Wilcox stepped away from the dining room and built @tworosela , a small-batch bakery run out of his Melrose Hill home. Available only a few days a week, his long-fermented country loaves, seeded breads, and stone-milled rye chocolate chip cookies reflect the power of process over scale. Get a taste on 05.17.2026.

Built by Arielle Skye and Chris Moss on wild fermentation, market produce, and a refusal to imitate, @courage_bagels rewrites the rules of a city that never had a defining bagel culture to begin with. What started as a bicycle-based operation in Silver Lake has grown into one of the West Coast’s most recognizable carb destinations. Get a taste on 05.17.2026.

At @quartersheets , crispy-edged Detroit-style pies and headline-worthy Princess cakes prove indulgence is a craft. Aaron Lindell and @hannahziskin reshape the neighborhood pizza shop with naturally leavened crusts, toppings sourced from local farms, and desserts that justify the trip on their own.

Lamination is the star at @fondry_la . Trained in France and shaped by a Hong Kong–to–L.A. trajectory, pastry chef Ivy Ku reworks the viennoiserie she cut her teeth on—turning out tofu cloud croissants and black sesame flans that feel both technical and deeply personal. Get a taste on 05.17.2026.

@foundoyster brings East Hollywood swagger to the humble coastal raw bar format. Chef @arikolender balances seafood shack tradition with LA sensibility, serving scallop tostadas, crudos, and seafood towers that need no introduction. Get a taste on 05.17.2026.
