Los Angeles, a dizzying melting pot
When the Olympic Games are held here in 2028, they will be the city's third! The sun shines all year round, and the coastal winds from the Pacific keep the climate mild: Los Angeles is a land of milk and honey. From the 1970s onwards, a new generation of chefs preferred local produce and straightforward flavours to heavy, meaty American-style meals. Since then, the foodie, locavore and migrant-fueled scene has been bubbling away, sometimes anarchically, but always with panache.
