FYI …
Bludso’s BBQ in Compton is temporarily closing for a much needed update. This news comes from a Eater LA article on Monday. The man himself Kevin Bludso confirms the update is for the equipment and other small issues with no plans of expanding the walk up spot to a sit down spot like fans have wished for. The reopen of Bludsos will be around October 10 so if you’re hurting for some key BBQ in Los Angeles you might want to visit their Fairfax location or one on our top BBQ picks for the time being.
Must hit up place of the week goes to…
Cause summer isn’t over yet… who’s up for some Sangria, Piña Colada and Margarita ice cream? Sounds like a winning combo to me! Newcomer Icy Rush in Echo Park makes all ice creams in house with organic ingredients and offers dairy free options.
