One of Texas’s most famous restaurants, Franklin Barbecue, is collaborating with LA’s HomeState to create a chopped brisket breakfast taco for just five days from November 8 to 12. To date, Franklin Barbecue has never appeared in Los Angeles except for a pop-up in 2015 that founder and chef Aaron Franklin conducted with chef Adam Perry Lang. For those who haven’t heard of Franklin Barbecue, it’s regarded as one of the best barbecue places in the world, drawing huge lines every day it’s open. And it’s officially coming to LA next week to celebrate HomeState, an Austin-style breakfast taco specialist, that turns 10 years old this year. read more

Highly Likely has the bright, airy, vibrant vibes of some of Australia’s best all-day cafes. You’ll find all the California takes on breakfast classics on the menu here. All of them are great, but standouts include the fish sandwich, made with locally caught, tempura-battered fish and kosho tartar sauce, or the Japanese porridge bowl with housemade pickles, dashi broth, Okinawa potatoes, mushrooms, greens, miso granola, and a soft boiled egg. read more

This lively little taco stand is all about inhaling a few tacos with friends before the tortillas dissolve in your hands. Hungover or not, you’ll inhale these tacos with tortillas handmade to perfection. Start a perfect day with their “Trinity”—eggs, bacon, potato and cheese. The best things in life are simple, especially paired in a winning combination with Southern hospitality and speedy, smiley service. Bonus: the Highland Park location now serves some of the best margaritas in town. read more
