Interstate 5 is notoriously boring. But it gets you where you want to go. Here's a fun write-up by @benmesirow on some of the things that you can pull over to see that might be worth the stop. We've always been kind of fascinated by Harris Ranch, btw. thrillist.com/travel/los-ang…

The Only Decent Places to Stop on an I-5 Road Trip Between SF and LA

These may be the only stops that won’t ruin your day.

I was feeling crazy last Friday and started a new column at @LATACO: "Taco Etiquette." A space where you can ask any question you'd like about eating tacos in L.A., Mexico, or anywhere. For our first one, I answer a controversial question about al pastor. lataco.com/al-pastor-sliced-…
