Top 100 Dish in LA Kids Love Carnitas Baja Bowl
Food Review By LA Foodie…Estella, 6th Grade
“The carnitas bowl was really good and I would get it again. The shredded beef had a lot of flavor, and was good with the vegetables. The rice was a good portion, and had a lot of flavor just like the beans. This dish can be easily shared with two. You won’t be disappointed!”

If God Granted Me One Wish…
If God Granted Me One Wish…
What would you choose…if it’s something else than air…then, I challenge you to create a social project around it. Last 2 months, I have launched different projects (and awards) into the community based on fun food programs (Love to Feed LA). For me food is joy, well-being, energy, love, sharing, and inspiration.
“I create fun community projects without attachment to ego (success or failure), if there is interest, and participation I keep it going….if not, I drop it.” Carlos, Founder Fun+Advocate Love to Feed LA
This past weekend, I launched Kids Get Paid to Eat + Review the Best Food in the Hood. I had 10 families in both the SFV and Westside sign up…so far we have done 11 reviews. Kids are creating their own special projects, Radley in 6th grade has Type 1 Diabetes, and Celiac Disease (he is reviewing top 10 SFV restaurants with gluten free dishes). We have a couple of more LA Foodie Kids on fun special creative writing assignments.
Our goal is to review 100 restaurants by July 1st, 2020 (Recruiting for Good is paying for all the delivered food, to save families money, and let kids know that we appreciate their participation). Kids choose whichever restaurant they want to review, and dish. They enjoy the food, and then create all the content (take picture of food, and write a review).
Our mission is simple to make life fun and rewarding for kids. Teach kids positive life values, and work habits. And perhaps prepare them for tomorrow’s jobs too. We created LA’s Funnest Weekend Gig…Kids Get Paid to Eat.
Kids also learn how to use their talent for good, become value driven members of the community, and inspire others.
“Special thanks to Kim Rouggie who connected me to awesome moms whose kids are in the girls scouts.” Carlos, Founder Fun+Advocate
If god granted you one last wish…what will you do…start today!

Top 100 Dish in LA Kids Love Pizza Cookery’ Gluten Free Cheese Pizza
Top 100 Dish in LA Kids Love Pizza Cookery’ Gluten Free Cheese Pizza
Food Review By LA ‘Gluten Free’ Foodie…Radley, 6th Grade Boy
“Hi, my name is Radley, and last Summer I was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes, and Celiac Disease. This means I have to be careful what I eat; and I can’t eat gluten. I ordered a cheese pizza from the Pizza Cookery and I loved it. It has gluten free crust, and its super cheesy. I’m definitely going to get it again.”
Radley is on a special assignment writing reviews of restaurants in SFV that offer Gluten Free Options (We are grateful for his contribution, and creating a purposeful and yummy list of restaurants for kids to love). Every weekend, we’re delivering food for him to taste and review. If you have a restaurant in the Valley that offers ‘Gluten Free’ options, and want a shout-out, please email Sara@RewardingLA.com (Thank You).

Top 100 Dish in LA Kids Love Horchata’s Steak Fajitas
Top 100 Dish in LA Kids Love Horchata’s Steak Fajitas
Food Review By LA Foodie…Shay, 6th Grade Girl
“The fajita was very delicious. I loved how I was allowed to put it together completely from scratch and on my own. I can decide what I want in the fajita, and I can decide the quantities of each one of the fillings. The meat and rice were very savory and delicious. I highly recommend trying this one day. It has multiple varieties so that it can satisfy you in whatever way you want.”
Horchata, 804 Montana Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90403
