Stories to sink your teeth into with L.A. in a Minute's Evan Lovett

Joining us today on the pod is Evan Lovett of LA in a Minute. You’ve probably seen Evan’s face on your TikTok or Instagram feeds, dropping some serious knowledge on the City of Angels’ wonderful and often whacky history. Whether he’s answering the question of why Trader Joe’s parking lots are always so damn small, or why people from LA say “the” before freeway numbers, Evan’s passion for Los Angeles is the secret ingredient that makes his storytelling so special.  On this episode, we discuss topics like why so many fast food chains were born in Los Angeles, what the heck Jaleel White has to do with revolutionizing the LA food scene, and why the City of Angels is definitely in the conversation for best food city in the world. There are tales of FBI raids, East Coast vs. West Coast hip-hop, and even murder! So if you’re the type of person who finds themselves wondering, who the heck invented the smoothie or what’s the oldest restaurant in LA, this is definitely the episode for you.  Helpful links: LA in a Minute on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@evanlovett?lang=en LA in a Minute on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lainaminute/?hl=en In a Minute with Evan Lovett podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-a-minute-with-evan-lovett/id1672118172
