Hog Wild HIT : 823

Photograph by Lisa Romerein Cochon Bourré We imagine the back rooms at many L.A. bars must look like Frankenstein’s lab these days, with morsels of flesh bobbing in jars of various liquids. Church & State infuses bourbon with bacon lard, cold filters it three times, and strains it through cheesecloth. The result is worked into […]

Best Sunglasses Shops HIT : 563

By the time tourists were snapping up pairs of military-style Foster Grants on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in the late ’20s, sunglasses were on their way to becoming a necessity (at least, as we go broke financing a new pair, we’re convinced there’s no living without them). Still, L.A.’s got a better excuse than most […]
