I was halfway through my third fried fish taco at Highland Café in northeast Los Angeles before I realized what I’d done. “Oh, crap,” I said aloud. A passing waiter looked at me curiously. “Is everything alright?” he asked kindly. They’re always kind to me at Highland Café, probably because my laptop and I basically […]
