Lesley Balla helms the new edition. Lesley has written about the SoCal food scene for a number of years; prior to Tasting Table she was the editor of the popular restaurant news blog Eater LA. She also served double duty as managing editor and dining and travel editor at LA.com, and she was the dining editor of Citysearch.com. Her articles have appeared in numerous food and travel publications including Angeleno, Los Angeles Magazine and Frommer's.

"Los Angeles is one of the most geographically and ethnically diverse cities in the country," says Balla. "And our dining scene exemplifies that. With Tasting Table, we highlight the best of what's out there, whether it's the neighborhood panaderia or the celebrity chef-driven restaurant, the classics and the newcomers, or the best watering holes. We uncover everything that makes eating and drinking in L.A. great."

Tasting Table Los Angeles is the daily email's second edition following New York and is being launched simultaneously with the National edition. Additional local editions are being planned for 2009 including Chicago, San Francisco and Washington DC.

Tasting Table stands out for its unique approach to editorial coverage: It does not write traditional reviews; it makes recommendations based on first-hand reporting and is delivered to readers in a smart, lively voice.
