On this episode of “Plateworthy,” Chef Nyesha Arrington returns to her hometown of Los Angeles to explore the restaurants that reflect the city's neighborhoods, heritage, and culture. She starts at Santa Canela Bakery to try one of LA's most talked-about churros and then heads to Augie's on Main to catch up with her former mentor, chef Josiah Citrin, to try his standout Dirty Fried Chicken Sandwich.
To cap off the episode, Nyesha visits Somerville in South LA, where she learns to make a collard green lasagna that blends tradition with a fresh perspective. She then sits down with actress and the restaurant's co-creator Issa Rae and friends to enjoy the menu in a transportive dining room that celebrates the neighborhood's history.
