About In the Weeds on KCRW
In restaurant lingo, to be in the weeds is to feel overwhelmed in the thick of chaos. In pre-pandemic times, it often referred to drowning in orders. COVID-19 radically altered the restaurant industry, and brought a different kind of chaos and struggle to those who depend on it to survive. These intimate first person confessions are their stories.

Chef and owner Daniel Navarro’s grandmother, Gladys, opened
El Cochinito in 1988 in a small strip mall along Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake. Much has changed in the three decades since, but Navarro is still serving the food he grew up with, including an award-winning Cuban sandwich. Navarro joins Good Food for this week’s installment of “In the Weeds.”
