As a lover of food and trying new places to eat, I’ve spent the past 7 years trying restaurants all around the LA and Ventura County regions. This list is a culmination of the places I think about constantly and have returned to for more. It is ever-evolving, so check back for more additions!

I see a lot of restaurants that get attention only due to social media and being new.

So here’s a small spotlight on a mix of old and new restaurants that taste amazing that hopefully can be a new favorite for you as well! Happy Eating! 🍴

I was diagnosed with Ciliac's Disease about five years ago. I struggled to find things to eat, products to use, that would not make me sick.

Most people with CD can not tolerate dairy as well.
