I was very psyched a couple weeks ago to receive an advance copy of Eat: Los Angeles 2010, the Eat LA accompaniment and food guide edited by writer and publisher of Prospect Park Books Colleen Dunn Bates, along with a team of writers, journalists and bloggers. Covering 1,300-plus food spots (from restaurants and food trucks to wine shops and ethnic markets), I love that the content is very clearly written by locals entrenched in the city’s culinary landscape.
I was additionally pleased to receive an invite to last night’s launch party for the book at Traveler’s Bookcase (8375 West Third Street; where the book is now avail for $19.95; or online), which included food trucks Let’s Be Frank, The Grilled Cheese Truck, and Coolhaus, plus pork satay from Sate Babi Manis (626-643-9197) and fried cheese quesadillas from Nina’s Catering Service (323-263-8360; 323-807-6813; 323-898-0438). A crowd, which packed the entire tented space out back, was also very enthusiastic.
The food this way!
Spicy dog from Let’s Be Frank
Caprese Melt with mozzerella, tomatoes, basil and balsamic syrup
Fried cheese quesadilla was very good and had a nice kick
Pork satay was tender
I’ve never had Coolhaus before, amazing! This is oatmeal cookies with white Russian ice cream
The husband got chocolate cookies, also with white Russian ice cream
The crowd

Glad you got to come! Sorry I didn’t see you there. (I can see my plaid jacket right in the center of your photo!)
That pork satay was delish.
