40 LA Restaurants You Need To Eat In Your Lifetime | The Ultimate List
Bold of you to assume that I'll ever die.
Love that
I just became inmortal out of spite while watching this
@Martasinmasyo same my man
@Cloaked Vortex, every living thing dies 😒
EDITORS CATEGORY CHOICE aye buddy look at his name
Narrator : "The world is full with amazing stories"
90% percent of the videos tend to show are restaurants in the USA or the United Kingdom.
the video is called "40 *LA* Restaurants You Need To..."
@@fried_onions_better_than_pizza they mean other vids as well
The title explicitly states LA
Yea but they only show like LA or New York restaurants
I mean, might aswell just call it: The ultimate bucket/food list
Me: *Laughs in poor teenager*
I can feel u:(
*Chuckes in Virginia*
*Giggles in 2 year-old*
**cackles in cheeto**
Me laughs in Florida
I will once my mortgage is paid off.
Ikr expensive as
Finally an original joke that isn’t about dying..
Good luck!
🤣😂
Is that a finger with a sad face
me who doesn't even live in LA or anywhere near USA: "ah yes food" 👁👄👁
do you live in tokoyO?
@@hdexotic1914 there are tons of countries out of the USA not just Tokyo
@@martinaaaaaggg did you ever consider that the commenter has a Japanese name?? 🤯🤯🤯
I lived in LA all my life and am a major foodie, and I've only been to 4 out of these 40 places.
Am i missing something here? 🤔
Time and money?
Flashy Torn lol
@@prudence433 time? Meh. Money? Definitely, as anyone can tell from my channel art subtitle.
Because 90% of them are not even restaurants, much less "the best". I think this channel has just done a paid presentation.
The 36 left
That wasn't even a pizza......avocado salad onto of a pizza that's disappointing
Broke abasalmak It is yummy what u mean?
Brandon_The_Man Maybe because you aren’t use to eating Mexican- like? No hate.But really?
**gordon ramsay wants to know your location**
Feel bad for italians
@Josephine Venturini its you tube grammar dont matter and on behave of america were sorry we made such trashy food
I used to live in LA before moving to Texas a few years ago. The food back there was great and I’d totally recommend it to any tourists or movers looking to go!
Lies again? Believe Japan Ramenten Rakuten
A friend moved from LA to Midland Texas and she misses the mexican food in LA....Says the Tex Mex is different and not as good.
A lot of these aren't in LA but surrounding cities great list though
Poison Gang LA County
They're all pretty much all in LA. Does anyone care that Glendale or West Hollywood are not technically LA because they're independent cities? They're completely surrounded by LA. it's not like they listed a bunch of places in Riverside or something
@@ritrovolt8215 the Venice in southern California
LA County
when i lived in LA, LA kind of comprised all of LA county even if it was technically in a different city
I was skimming through this video and I dare say that I will die trying all these foods.
Your profile tho
@@yutaniyourgirl2209 cursed
@@sonnys4766 ahahahhahaha stinky
Looks at profile *Marco better be right behind her*
Can we talk about that pfp?Looks cursed to me.
3:51
i thought those were giant ladybugs lmao
XD
🤣😂
crunchy
LAL
What's cool about LA (I know this video is like two years old) is that all these places also got tons of copycat or sometime even better alternatives with their own unique flair if you look around. For example, there's only one Ramen place listed, but LA has literally hundreds of Ramen shops, some even better than Tsujita. Don't even get me started about number of taco shops.
1:58
It's true. Their garlic knots are heavenly and addictive.
I am insider because I watch insider!
Aren't we all? 😂

You’re a G
I was in Los Angeles many years. I am from Germany and have been around in Europe a lot, but the food in Los Angeles was so delicious and dishes I could not even dream of, influences of all kind, Asian, even the french food there tasted better than in France and I still wonder how come the coffee there was the best in the world
I'm broke so i guess I'll die without trying these foods
Lmaooooooo love ur Prof pic and name. Made my day
What about the free endless garlic knots?
Most of these are actually pretty cheap
@@teomorales2091 you still have to pay the travel and i'm pretty sure you have to order something else
@@justafish9618 i live like 2-3 hours from LA-
But i don't want to go ._.
What I see in this video
*calories*
Same but idc about calories, as long as I'm happy eating the food I wanted
@@xivk1 same
RandomlyGirl it’s food and that’s life girl
RandomlyGirl it’s not like you’re going to eat it everyday??
also everything has calories in it so no need to be like that
Especially because Insider has videos comparing US portion sizes to the UK and show off places like these that have oversized amounts of food
Y’all, from an Angeleno: if you enjoyed Tsujita, go to Slurpin’ Ramen. A completely different experience but it’s the best food I’ve had in Los Angeles to date. A true gem among natives.
Why does this crap always come in my recommended when I'm hungry
I literally cried watching this as I knew I may never get to sample the great food omg!
Here I am watching while eating my turkey and American cheese lunchable
Saved mtv cristal
I had a dog
3:37
Me: “Can we get Ransom?”
Mom: “We have Ransom at home”
Rain Dyckie I HEAR IT I HEAR IT LMAOO
Bruh
I dont get it .
omg 😂
woofii * the beat sounds like if ransom had a Chinese version that’s it
Not one place listed was south of the 10 FWY.... GREAT LIST GUYS!!! BRAVO! I LOVE THE ADVENTEROUS ATTITUDE!
I don’t understand why they have to put “before you die”
It just reminds people of their fate when they are trying to enjoy something.
Why can’t you put something like “foods you don’t want to miss when you travel”
Or something
Also, most of this food will be wasted when there are millions of staving people across the globe.
Because dramatic affect my friend
found the pesimist
@@manuelfigueras7250 I mean you d o have a point
next, you're going to tell us to avoid using love because many people don't get love. anyway, it's a persuasive technique used by many called exaggeration. it's to attract people, like the word love is used to catch people’s attention.
@@user-ws9ko1pu1y omgg you said the L WORD!?!?! IM SUDDENLY SAD BECAUSE IM A SINGLE BI T CH HOW DARE YOU!!
Great. Now I have 40 more restaurants to try! First I had 40 in New York city, then 40 in Chicago, and now 40 in LA. I am going to be a busy man till I die. Next up are the 40 restaurants in Nome, Alaska!
All kidding aside, your picks were great.
We all know it SHOULD have been 42!
Passion for food I don’t get it
@@Poopydoopysxoopy hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the ultimate answer to everything
Passion for food oh lol
And the Restaurant at the End of the Universe should be on this list.
3,4,5,7,8,9,11,15,17,20,25,27,31,32,37 those look great
Don’t do Drugs
Lua You'll end up in LA. 😂
Yes seriously stay in school focus on your career that will you get so far in life you’ll thank yourself one day

I been living in LA for like 9 years I never knew these places existed lmao
3:27 that’s my favorite place!
Philippe’s is the bomb 💣
when you see a resturant in this video that you have been to before
*hehe*
Hey, I see you have Hobi as your avatar and as a fellow army, I just wanted to say hello and wish you the best in life.
Okay, bye

PARIS, FRANCE
Greece
SCOTLAND lol :/
I enjoyed watching the 🎵🎶 video. 😁😁😁 I enjoyed it. (Laughs), I'll look forward to good videos in the future.^^💗💗
Monty's is the best on the list!
Burger
Definitely want to try 1, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 26, 33, and 40.
You included some random donut shop but left out Porto’s? Crazy.
I know Santa Monica,their food is delicious,I went their so many times and its version is in my country too and basically beside my house.Must try Santa Monica's foods!!!
*oh I have a Monty's Good Burger right next to my school*
slab barbecue looks amazing! That's my first thing to eat when i visit LA
I’m meeting up with my internet best friend in L.A!
GalaxiaGalaxy be safe and have fun!
You finna get human trafficked
Watching this during self isolation , everything looks amazing! 🤤
I must say you are beautiful, I was captivated by your rare beauty which made me send you a text.
Come on Frank
The background music sounds it came from "perfect strangers"
Big guy R4nd0m sm1le no like an episode ad the game
#36 is one of my favorite places to visit at least 2-3 times a year but its definitely not for the food, its for the view and beach. The food is a 4 if you if 10 being the highest.
I’ve never seen a person from Los Angeles call themselves an “Angeleno”
Read the title properly. Very professional food insider.
I've seen this type of video from the same Channel like a thousand times
I recognised I ate 2 of them
1:18 and 3:50 belong to Iran and I'm Iranian
Its the first time I'm happy bc of being Iranian
Thank God
When Corona hit I was like ima go there for some food before I die
i live in los angeles and every friday and saturday in my family is fast food night and my dad has carried us to some of these places which is why sunday is gym day
Me: ooo yum I wanna try these
My money: *not today SISTER*
Very useful list for my trip to LA in a couple days, thanks
BEST JEWISH DELI IN LA: Brent’s Deli
BEST MEDITERRANEAN: Yerevan Steakhouse
BEST BBQ: SLAB
BEST TACOS: Birrieria San Marcos and Pablito’s Tacos
Yerevan is a city in Armenia... nothing to do with Mediterranean...
Еля Гіріна Mediterranean food as in kabobs. Falls into that category
Omg the food at grand central market is soooo good I ate there when I went to the last bookstore
Well now Corona virus has shut all of these restaurants down
It's shut more restaurants than Gordon Ramsey ever will! Hopefully they can all come back from it.
I’ve lived in la for 3 years and I’ve only ever heard of sees candies and I’m an adventurous eater who likes trying new things
They are literally everywhere. Nothing special. Just get a kit Kat and call it a day.
12012channel I know! It’s so silly that people make such a big deal out of it!
Me : dying without eating these food
These food : listen here you little-
(Sees profile pic) *Ah, yes, one of my people*
I’ll be studying in the states in two years can’t wait to try one of these
Can you do street food video of India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
WanderLust deserves more hype and when you try it youll see why (also they also have a location in Venice)
Mind: YES
Wallet: I wont let u do that
This is a better list. No viral calorie bombs. But a list of very different restaurants who all have damn good food to offer.
Me: Okay.. maybe I should go and try them...
*Corona: *I am waiting..**
There are so many 40s i should try before i die
I always find it kinda sad that they never include Rhode island or Massachusetts into a lot of these. I live in the border between the two an they both have amazing and really delicious restaurants. Actually there are a lot of states they don't include a lot.
And often times they just recycle a lot of their old footage. For example, the ice cream potato isn't actually that Idahoan, it's just a gimmick for tourists and it's just a blob of vanilla ice cream.
Also recommend eating at Milk, delicious desert place with ice cream sandwiches
6:13 you know you can’t just throw anything on a crust and call it pizza? At some point it stops being pizza and becomes an entirely new dish.
wow its so fantastic 😘
Nice demo
Grandma Kitchen not like yours!
Aaron Al Malik Yes but my channel is basic, Dont compare 😘
Grandma Kitchen Yes, its true, they have a lot of machines, fully equiped.
Aaron Al Malik your right grandson!
Huh the only place I’ve been to that’s in this list is raffi’s
This helped me with my essay
Thanks a lot !!!!
Will never try these.
Still watches.
it’s almost 1 am and my mouth is actually watering,I’m starving and now I really want a donut-
the title: YoU neEd tO tRy ThIs beFoRe YoU DiE
Me: i am already dead of pain and rejection );
Im already dead from hunger
Edgy
Amen. The glamorous, the flossy, flossy.
why are people being so negative like "42 foods you need to try to die"
like,obviously they don't mean eat them all in a row 😑
Clear Skiesツ I’m going to die trying.
@@geoshisan6349 maybe if you try all at them at once lol
It's a joke u tard
Woooooooooosh
@@cal5421 looks like youre the one whos wooshed,because i know its a joke,but its stupid.
I always like that food insider titles is saying “do this or eat there BEFORE YOU DIE”
3:07
I've been to the bagel truck there and oh my god! its amazing! I totally recommend trying it out!
Aight. It’s a lotta steel, wood and concrete, but I’ll eat all these restaurants
Highly underrated comment 💀
Why am I seeing this during quarantine!
Mom:hunny time to go-
Mom:why are u packing?
Me: I'm going to LA , why?
Backed out at Tito's Tacos. I've seen all I need to see here.
Lol. I just ate. My damn homemade lunch.
I love your video's 😍😍😍
Great, now I'm hungry
Watching under quarantine
Very nice I love❤️❤️❤️❤️
but i can't eat 40 restaurants
These portions are huge
Wait... I realized something. Yeah i don't see any rice.
Did you guys make a video of Las Vegas food? I'm going there in November and I would like to know what foods to try.
Great video by the way!!
*visits 39/40 restaurants*
*Dies*
1:18 OMG that our 'بستنی سنتی'
I'm happy bc at least I ate one of them
Insider: "....you have to try before you die"
Suicidal people: *"Nah, we don't have time for that"*
That's kind of insensitive
Dude.. that is not ok
1:05 Tsukemen-style ramen is the speciality. *process to show a normal ramen instead*
Plz save this world!!! It is the only place where we get instant ramen
Aliens be like: *Laughs in actuall instant ramen*
All this food looks amazing now im hungry
Yes these are 40 restaurants I would love to eat
