"Not everyone can be a Sherlockian food detective and, to be honest, reviews can be misleading. In a city that churns out new restaurants like a pitching machine, even foodies have a hard time keeping up with the hottest new spots. It also doesn't help that many Angelenos prefer sticking to their own pocket of the city. Lucky for you, we've always got a finger on the pulse of LA's dining scene."
"Perched on the hilltop corner of Slauson Avenue and Overhill Drive is a green, Googie-style landmark called Simply Wholesome. The part-restaurant, part-health food store founded by Percell Keeling has served the View Park-Windsor Hills community for over four decades. Keeling's daughters, Ayanna and Mia, now spearhead the day-to-day operations. As one of the few vegan- and vegetarian-friendly spots in the area, it's a popular destination for health-focused Angelenos who live south of the 110 Freeway."
Los Angeles hosts hundreds of Black-owned restaurants offering wide-ranging cuisines and dining experiences across the city. Choosing where to eat can be overwhelming because new spots open constantly and many locals stick to familiar neighborhoods. A curated list narrows choices and highlights notable establishments, including plant-based Tex-Mex, overflowing roti wrap specialists, and fine-dining that artfully explores the African diaspora. Simply Wholesome is a long-standing, green Googie-style landmark on Slauson and Overhill that began as a part-restaurant, part-health food store founded by Percell Keeling and now run daily by daughters Ayanna and Mia. The menu blends Caribbean, Mexican, and American dishes, with popular Jamaican patties and vegan options.
