Written and hosted by LA Times food columnist Lucas Kwan Peterson, the web series delves into regional and underappreciated cuisines in Los Angeles. On Jan. 28, the Times will premiere its latest, Bucket List (pictured), written and hosted by senior food writer Jenn Harris. A month earlier, in October, the New Yorker launched its video doc series, The New Yorker Documentary, on its website and YouTube channel. In 2019, former Al Jazeera senior producer Maggie Beidelman (pictured above, right) joined the Times as senior video director. Outside of food, Biedelman says the Times’ web series will cover LA-area issues that resonate nationally, such as politics, the environment, immigration and homelessness.
