Class of 2025’s Best of LA Food Spots
As we wrap up the year, I wanted to honor the many amazing food offerings of LA. I surveyed seniors to discover what they think are the best spots in LA.
Though this was included in my last issue of the UltraViolet, it’s not the end of Ava’s Eats. Ava's Eats is off to college, and I'm excited to begin exploring the food offerings of NorCal. You can continue following my food writing on my Instagram @avas.eats1 or on this website avas-eats.com.
Please enjoy the Class of 2025’s Los Angeles Restaurant Superlatives.
