Eater LA’s first ever Road Trip Week covers everything to eat in and around the city of Los Angeles, and branching out to major destinations in California. Find maps, guides, and features on single destinations that are worth the drive, from Big Pine’s Copper Top BBQ to the bleak (and lovely) La Copine in the high Mojave desert.
