MUNCHIES: The Podcast: Drinking Up Oaxacalifornia on a Michelada Mobile

On the latest episode of MUNCHIES: The Podcast, we’re drinking up LA on a michelada bus with the crew from La Guelaguetza to discuss how this restaurant has become the unofficial LA Oaxacan consulate.

Oaxacalifornia is not a state of mind, but an actual place.

Between the food trucks and brick and mortar restaurants, the Oaxacan food scene in Los Angeles has become the third most important spot in the world for Oaxacan cooking outside of Oaxaca and Mexico City. Award-winning restaurant La Guelaguetza is at the core of this movement.

On the third episode of MUNCHIES: The Podcast from our LA series, we're drinking up downtown LA on a mobile michelada bus with the powerhouse siblings behind the restaurant to discuss why this city has the ultimate DIY mentality.

So tune into the podcast, subscribe on iTunes if you can dig it, and tell your friends to do the same. And check back in two weeks for the next episode, because we're drinking with one of the biggest winos on the West Coast, chef Kris Yenbamroong of Night Market to discuss why he thinks a new generation of young winemakers is changing up the cultural bullshit that comes with wine drinking for the better.
