CityBeat Eats

lacity.jpg Los Angeles CityBeat‘s special food issue includes that alternative-weekly staple, an article about the absinthe subculture. As is de rigeur in the alternative-weekly-absinthe-article genre, the author meets up with a shadowy-but-ultimately-surprisingly-normal absinthe subculture member, tries the drink, and ends up feeling slightly underwhelmed.

Also in the special Food issue, Arty Nelson on Fosselman’s Ice Cream in Alhambra:

To understand what makes Fosselman’s Ice Cream so magnificent, one must put aside all of one’s ego-/fear-based opinions and just head east until one is standing in exactly the same place. More than any kind of iced treat, like almost everything worth writing or talking about, encountering it makes one feel shoved tumbling down a rabbit hole into a kind of parallel snack time, where all that’s been learned about the making of good things means very little when face-to-face with all that simply tastes good.

I consulted my trusty Arty Nelson Decoder Ring, and I think what he means is that Fosselman’s serves good ice cream.
