L.A. Times Food Bowl Crowns Lielle the No. 1 Restaurant in Los Angeles
On the night of October 23, the Los Angeles Times held its annual Food Bowl celebration at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Los Angeles County, California, where restaurant Lielle was crowned the No. 1 restaurant in Los Angeles. The evening gathered many of the city's leading chefs and restaurants, with guests sampling signature dishes and specialty cocktails. The Times also presented its 2026 Gold Award to Norm Langer of the legendary Langer's Delicatessen, honoring his contribution to Southern California food culture; the award is given in memory of the late food critic Jonathan Gold. Among the evening's most popular dishes were Mini Kabob's A5 wagyu, Broken Spanish Comedor's chicharrones, and Baroo's pork belly with seaweed and sweet potato noodles, reflecting the diversity of Los Angeles dining. The Food Bowl continued on Saturday, October 24, with appearances by comedians Anthony Anderson and Cedric and chef Roy Choi. Organizers called Los Angeles one of the most exciting food destinations in the country and described the celebration as a tribute to the city's culinary talent.
