In this episode of Plateworthy, host Nyesha Arrington returns to her hometown for the third and final stop on her California food tour. Her time in Los Angeles kicks off with pastries at Santa Canela in Highland Park. Pastry chef Ellen Ramos shows Arrington how she makes champurrado doughnuts with fresh masa, burnt-vanilla cream-stuffed conchas, and LA-shaped churros, before Arrington sits down for her sweets-filled breakfast.
Next, Arrington takes her dog, Bleu Ginger, for a bike ride along Santa Monica’s Main Street as she makes her way to Augie’s on Main, a restaurant from her mentor, chef Josiah Citrin. She digs into a fried dirty chicken sandwich at the casual spot before heading to the beach. Then, she heads to South Central’s Somerville, where culinary director Geter Atienza shows Arrington how to make collard green lasagna with house-made spinach pasta sheets, which she sits down to enjoy with the co-founders of Somerville, Issa Rae, Ajay Relan, and Yonnie Hangos. They dig into fried chicken sandwiches topped with caviar and a short ribs dish as they discuss how the restaurant and jazz lounge has brought more Angelenos to explore the neighborhood.
Watch the latest episode of Plateworthy to see Arrington taste LA-shaped churros, flavorful fried chicken sandwiches, and a cheese-filled collard greens lasagna.
