AROUND TOWN— Noted food writer Ruth Reichl is doing the food blogger thing around L.A., hitting everything from Wes Avila's Guerilla Tacos to West LA's Totoraku, the underground Japanese yakiniku specialist, with iPhone photos and all. Needless to say, but Reichl's a fan of the local dining scene. [Ruth Reichl]
