BUCKET LIST
Welcome to the Female Foodie bucket list for Los Angeles! This list of 100 local restaurants includes a
recommendation for each location from tacos to ramen to ice cream sandwiches. The Female Foodie team
and I created this compilation in hopes that as you eat your way across the City of Angels, you’ll try every
worthwhile spot like a true LA foodie. We’re excited to follow your foodie escapades as you check off each
place on our list! Tag your photos with #femalefoodie on social media for a chance to be featured! Good
luck and remember: life’s too short to eat bad food.
