[separator type=”space”] [dropcap letter=”EAT-UP”]Who’s hungry in #LosAngeles? Or in the self-proclaimed, weirdest city in the US, #Austin?Thought so.
Below is a list of where to go and what to check out, if for nothing else than to tote a little clout. Yes, it seems these places are the talk of the town … And no, I cannot vouch for all of them. I just happen to be a fan of dispelling or proving worthy hype.
That said, I do want to know what you think when you go! Make sure you tag me on:
