People move to LA by the hundreds every month, or so it would seem by all the moving truck sightings around the 1st of every month.

Fortunately amidst all of the restaurants, shops, community activities and events, there are locals that blog about them, taking out the guesswork.

Joshua Lurie likes to eat and travel. These two passions combined with a talent for writing has earned him the creative moniker of Food GPS. Eating out in LA is expensive and it's a shame when hard-earned money is spent on a less-than-satisfying meal. Fortunately for us, Joshua eats as many as 12 restaurant meals a week. He claims many of them are not worth mentioning but when he does find a dish or restaurant where everything is just right, he will most certainly write about it. And Food GPS covers more than just LA. From San Diego to San Francisco and all of the cities in between, as well as other states and countries, he's more useful than Zagat.
