On social media, people were quick to criticize fans that participated in the celebrations. But few people questioned why the LAPD, a public agency with an annual budget of over $3 billion, stood around and waited until the bus was on fire before they did something. Or why the city wasn’t better prepared to handle public celebrations considering the same exact thing happened three years ago when the Dodgers won the World Series (again).
Plus, a new Arcane-inspired boba event and a new taco spot to check out in Silver Lake, and more in this weekend's roundup!

Robert Englund was such a foodie. He probably told me that the best food in town was over there.”
The couple credits their bakery’s success to high standards. Whereas many Central American bakeries may lean on more obtainable, cheaper cream cheese for their quesadillas, the family imports the unique type of hard cheese traditionally used in El Salvador.
After being a pop-up taquería since 2018, Evil Cooks' now has a brick and mortar business a few blocks away from their original front yard location, featuring their infamous taco creations like their 'McSatan' and 'Rock Lobster.'
