Best Restaurants in Los Angeles - BIG KABOB PLATTER + Must-Eat Food Tour in LA!

When Chef Liz and Will invited me to hang out with them and go to some of their favorite restaurants in LA, I was very excited. We set off to eat some amazing food in LA area including tacos, Armenian kabobs and Chinese savory pies.

Featured in this video, and huge thanks to:

Teddy’s Red Tacos - The first place we ate on this best of Los Angeles food tour is Teddy’s Red Tacos. First of all, Teddy is such a friendly down to earth guy who is passionate about birria, one of my favorite Mexican foods. Serving out of a food truck, we ordered the mixed plate of birria tacos, his made with beef. It was extraordinary, and great to hang out and meet Teddy as well.
Mixed plate - $10

Beijing Pie House - Next we drove East to the Beijing Pie House, another one of Liz’s best favorite restaurants in LA. We ordered a mix of dishes including a variety of dumplings and the highlight was their tripe salad laced in Sichuan pepper oil. If you’re looking for some Northern Chinese dishes, Beijing Pie House is well worth the drive from Central LA.
Total price - $55.70

Mini Kabob - There was one more huge meal we had to eat on this best restaurants in LA food tour. We drove to Glendale where there’s a large population of Armenians, and we met up with Armin, son of the owner of Mini Kabob. Immediately I loved the place, family run, just a small little shop with a few tables, and an ultimately friendly place. They welcomed us in and Armin took care of us from the start, fixing us a mixed meat platter with a little bit of everything. The Armenian kabobs were spectacular, as were all the different salads.
Huge platter - thanks Armin!

Thank you to Liz and Will for taking me around to some of their favorite restaurants in LA, I had an amazing time!

My favorite part of your videos is that you always take your family with you. Just because you have a child doesn't mean you can't be adventurous. ♥️

I love that you are such an open-minded, exceptional human who love all cultures. I wish the planet had a gabillion more people like you. Thank you for sharing your love of food, diversity and travel with the world.

I really want to say thank you to Mark. I’ve been studying abroad. I started watching your video for learning English and enjoying my free time. I got tons of the way to express your feeling and I really enjoy watching your video! I’ve started YouTube for travel and food! I want to be a man who always smiles, respect everything and enjoy your life like you do! Thank you!

This is one of the only "Best [Food] ...in LA" videos I've seen that actually is an accurate representation of Los Angeles' food scene. This is what makes me proud of LA! Great video!

That Armenian food looked good. I love Armenian, Greek and Turkish food, not to mention Thai and Chinese.
Thank you Mark for taking me along on your epicurean adventure.

Mexican, Chinese, Armenian, Italian, what a beautiful food trip!

Dear Mark,
even though it's been four years, it's very nice to see this video with you, Ying and your son!
Also, the fact that these wonderful people Liz, Will and Jeffrey are there makes this report lively and likeable...
and of course these great dishes and your enthusiasm...
Thanks for that !

Been going to Mini Kabob for 4years straight. You will never find a place that makes the best Mediterranean food. Hands down the best food ever! They’re very friendly too. The owner (now passed down to the son) talks to his customers like family and treats us like family. If they’re eating watermelon in the back they’ll give some to you freshly cut. Best hospitality you can get at a restaurant! Must try!

When I watch Mark eat, I just have to raid the fridge to find ANYTHING just so I don't die

[bendjinzau]

Honestly Mark, God bless you ! The positivity and the good vibes of your video are second to none. You meet people for all the corner of the world and show that food is incredible everywhere and cooked with passion. Thank you !

Because of you, Mark, me and my boyfriend drove from Vegas to LA for the Beijing Pie House. I have to say that tripe salad is the bomb! I ordered a second one after we finished the first plate within 5 minutes. I still have some of that in my fridge now.
Love all your videos! Love and hugs from Las Vegas!
