Two big new upcoming events are aimed at directly supporting local and national AAPI (Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders) organizations and restaurants. First up is Pop Off LA, which runs from May 16 to May 23 and features a variety one-day pop-up collaborations between different local entities, including Royce Burke’s Secret Lasagna doing a Thai-style lasagna dish with Anajak Thai, and Moo’s Craft Barbecue doing meat pies with Ms. Chi Cafe. The event is put on by the LA Food Gang, a Clubhouse-based hub for conversations about restaurants and dining led by writer Andy Wang and Eater LA’s former writer Crystal Coser. Donations for Pop Off LA will go towards Off Their Plate, which seeks food justice solutions within the greater AAPI restaurant and community scene.
