Four L.A. Things

Maria over at Franklin Avenue tagged with a meme. You may notice it’s quite similar to the other Four Things meme going around, but this new one is a little different–it’s about LA and food. Here we go:

You’re the second person to tag me with this meme! It’s a sign that I better do it. I’ll try to do mine tonight! Thanks for thinking of me. :)
