The question of which restaurants and food businesses to support in Altadena comes up often in our group. So often I have a running list I copy and paste for folks every time the question is asked. If you know me, you know I've spent a long time in the hospitality industry and I have a soft spot for supporting these businesses that need our love now more than ever. If you want to spend some of your dining dollars local Altadena, here are some good places to start! And if do you want to know more about any of them, do a quick search of our Substack.
