SUP. Y’all ever sipped a shishito-brine martini garnished with yakitori? This, truffled steak donburi, plenty of yaki and other fun cocktails can be found at @izakayatoki.la, a new Japanese restaurant inside the former Shibumi space. It’s one of TWENTY new spots to check out in October, which my colleague @danielledorky and I just published on @latimesfood. Or maybe the excellent aguachiles and fish tacos at @aguachilesyasada, from the couple formerly behind Correa’s Market, is more your speed? What about @flourpizzeria, whose Palisades Fire-spurred loss of their og space hasn’t stopped them from spreading NY-style pizza to Brentwood and now, more recently, Burbank? Maybe you haven’t heard about @gable.la, the new restaurant inside @thehollywoodroosevelt, where @chris___flint is reimagining a few L.A. flavors and @chaddaustin is serving some of my favorite cocktails I’ve had in a minute? And maybe you heard that @holybasil_la just closed its og downtown space, but they’ve just relocated to bigger digs in the arts district, where you can order their wild Thai burger from a takeout window and now, in the newly opened dining room, tuck into a traditional lunch set or more modern dishes like khao soi paccheri. And maybe you haven’t yet heard that @realchefdeblee just debuted a Korean cafe and mini market in the alley behind her highland park pocha, and that she’s serving sweet corn lattes, oxtail hand pies, pork belly BLTs, refrigerated mandu and more. Find these openings and many others over on @latimesfood now ✌️October’s lookin mighty delicious.

💫 That’s a wrap on @gyopo.us 8th Annual Chuseok Benefit! 💫

Shoutout to the best photographer @angelinewoo.vision for always capturing the VIBES 📸

On Sunday, under the full harvest moon, we gathered to support GYOPO’s mission and honor singer and songwriter EJAE (@ejae_k)! 🌕 Every year, our Chuseok Benefit is a reminder of the vitality and generosity of our community. We’re so grateful to be able to define Koreanness for ourselves and for each other. Koreanness is defined by generosity, justice, and rebelliousness. Our hearts grow fuller still, and we can‘t wait to continue engaging not only with our donor community but also with everyone here who agrees that art is our humanity and enabling the creation, study, and experience of art is among the most fulfilling work we can do.

Thank you to our presenting sponsor CJ (@cjent_usa), and our generous Community Sponsors, GYOPO Partners, Patrons, Host Committee, Corporate Sponsors, and of course our dedicated Board of Directors, Steering Committee, Volunteers, and Staff who poured so much into the event. ⭐️

Chef @realchefdeblee is the founder of Korean pub @yicha_la and Korean market and café @eatmokja in Highland Park, and she catered @gyopo.us’ 8th Annual Chuseok Benefit this year! 👩‍🍳🌕

GYOPO is a volunteer-powered nonprofit that brings together artists, creatives, and cultural producers from the Korean diaspora through free programs, exhibitions, talks, screenings, and community events in LA and beyond. Their annual Chuseok Benefit helps fund that programming and brings the community together around one of Korea’s biggest holidays.

Follow for more videos on local Korean businesses! 🇰🇷

#Mokja means “let’s eat” and you truly do not have to tell me twice. 😮‍💨

@eatmokja stole my heart ♥️ with their oxtail hand pie 🥧…seriously, can I have 10. But they giant onigiri 🍙, sandos 🥪, and $9 instant ramyun 🍜 with toppings, and MANY reasons to come hungry.

Save this for your next #HighlandPark visit, and thank me later. ✨
