My name is Caroline Gelabert-Noh and I’m the host of EatDrinkLA.
Originally from Miami, I went to college in New York City, and am currently settling into mid-life in Los Angeles!
I’m a great appreciator of those who cook food well and consider myself a restaurant indexer rather than a critic.
Here you will find lots of round-ups and best-of lists for Los Angeles, but if you’re reading this in 2025, you might start to see a bit of a shift in content toward things that feed both your soul and your body.
I started this food blog in my late twenties while striving to experience the best of Los Angeles and still having enough money to afford to live here! Now in my 40’s (gasp) I’m a mom of two who feels like she’s eaten it all – but still isn’t satiated – because there has to be more to life than just where to find the best burger.
I hope this can be your place to Eat, Drink, and Live your Best L.A. in a fulfilling way along with me.
Thanks, Caroline! I just approved your blog claim. Now your Urbanspoon profile picture is displayed on your blog page. You can upload a blog-specific photo if you prefer, and can change a few other blog settings there. Also, if you vote for a restaurant that you’ve reviewed on your blog, we now show your vote next to your post everywhere on our site.

Hi Eat Drink LA–
I’m working with a start-up for food bloggers in Southern California called Tabelog (www.tabelog.us). They’re a subsidiary of the largest company in Japan Tabelog.com (similar to Yelp here in the US).
We’re bringing their annual restaurant awards to the US that are judged solely by a panel of local food bloggers (all online). The winning restaurants get a framed 2014 award and the food bloggers get an “official judge” icon/etc and related PR for their blog. We’re looking for bloggers from the Southern California area to invite as an official judge. Is this something that you would be interested in?
Thanks in advance!
Brock
Hello Brock, I’ll be emailing you personally. Thank you!
I have a local angle for you. If interested, please email me personally. Thanks!

We would like to invite you to one of our upcoming events (all expense paid).

Hi Eat Drink LA!
I work with a startup here in LA called Newsbloom – a local events, culture, and news mobile platform.
We’re talking to the best culinary personalities in LA about giving them the most efficient mobile platform for their content! Our goal is to keep the people of our city informed about what is actually happening in their neighborhoods – From a great restaurant opening, to why a helicopter is flying overhead… all on a local map, free to use, and free to post.
Love to connect!
Would love to invite you to the kick-off event for THE LOS ANGELES PROJECT on June 1st. Send me your email address and I will forward the invite. Thanks! Kate

Hi!
Came across your blog and loved it, we own and operate Hollywood Burger in Hollywood California and I think there are similar synergies where we could create something great.
Id like to invite you to come out and enjoy lunch on us and meet the team to discuss what we could do together. We have events, activations with influencers, and press parties that we could equally enjoy.
Let me know if you’re around to come by!!
