2019 was a year of changes for Long Beach's evolving food scene: Homegrown chefs launched brick-and-mortars, more than a few classic local restaurants shuttered and new hi-rise apartment buildings added residents and retail space (that are both still figuring out what they want to eat). From Milk Barn pizza to gold-crusted salmon burgers to the power of Long Beach as a regional food destination, Sarah and Brian tackle the openings, closings and experiments that defined the last year of food in a city in transition. They talk what's working, what's not and what can we expect in 2020. Yes, there will be lots of tangents.
