The Mazapan tasted just like its namesake candy, a powdered peanut confection that holds a Proustian power over me. We stopped to enjoy our respective cones. “As Dems, we fashion ourselves as champions of the little guy, and is the perfect example to help.” “We’re kinder than a lot of cities are,” Rendon said as we ordered our ice cream - Mazapan for me, chongos zamoranos (an ice cream made of cinnamon-flavored curdled milk) for him. One of them: Tacos Los Cholos, who graduated from their street-side spots to now have two locations (sources say a third is in the works). I mentioned how Anaheim - a city mired in an FBI investigation over allegations of corruption that went all the way to City Hall - nevertheless found the time to harass street vendors. There, Rendon told me the Assembly is trying to get the state out of the way of regulating food vendors. Comforting like a backyard BBQ.”Īfter we scarfed down our lunch, the two of us headed to Tocumbo. The tortilla is great - you can taste the corn.” Rendon kept chewing, then tried to continue his point but couldn’t. The smell goes through your nose and out your mouth. “It’s a reflection of the person, but also of a place,” Rendon said right before biting into his carne asada taco. The speaker makes it a point of asking assemblymembers when he visits their district to pick a restaurant where the two can talk shop. “I once read in a book that people would pay to see Napoleon eat at banquets,” he said as we both dressed our tacos. But he also loved the spectacle of dining, a trait he got from his grandmother, who was the cook at a retirement home for priests in Silver Lake. It is our twice a month chance to wow you with our own. Family favorites included Tommy’s and a carnitas spot off Indiana Street near the 5 Freeway in East Los Angeles. Our bi-weekly Prix Fixe dinners are inspired by the garden and the season. “My parents didn’t have a lot of money, but they liked to try places,” he said as we waited for our lunch. He ordered tacos of chorizo, pork rib and slightly melted panela cheese with a chile güerito on top. We arrived at the popular taqueria right before the line went out the door. to connect with Assemblymember Tom Daly (D-Anaheim), I told him to hit up those spots. So when Rendon told me he was going to be in O.C. The man knows his food! We’ve shared meals in Little Saigon, at my wife’s place and especially in various spots across his southeast Los Angeles County district. We don’t really talk politics much - our conversations are mostly about literature, but especially restaurants. I’ve kept in touch with him ever since he appeared on my 2019 podcast about the 25th anniversary of Proposition 187.
