Los Angeles is the city I travel to most often. That’s because five of my closest friends live there. Yep, they’re all of the way on the other coast from me. (Could it be something I said?!)

The pistachios (try Wonderful Roasted & Salted No-Shells Pistachios!) provide unique flavor and color interest. And the finishing drizzle of roasted pistachio oil enhances the nutty flavor profile. Enjoy it often!
