Fruit Cake or Mac and Cheese Taco, Anyone?
The chef behind the tacos at Yamashiro's Farmers Market and Komida has created a unique menu featuring holiday classics.
As if the Japanese-fusion tacos at Komida in the Hollywood & Highland Center aren't interesting enough, Chef Brock Kleweno is taking his menu to another level in the coming days.
Kleweno plans to put his own spin on holiday cuisine with a limited-time menu of all the trimmings that accompany a meal during the holidays.
Starting Thursday, the "12 Days of Tacos" features an unlikely pairing of holiday favorites packed into a tortilla.
