What\u2019s cooking, Long Beach? Welcome to our new biweekly report on the latest neighborhood nosh and local libation news in Long Beach, where every other week we\u2019ll feature what\u2019s happening in the scene and the latest buzz in the blogosphere about the best places to eat, drink and be merry.<\/em><\/p>\n

We dove headfirst into the city\u2019s coffee scene this month with a feature on Cabinet<\/strong><\/a>, downtown Long Beach\u2019s newest coffee house offering Kyoto-style cold brew and much more.

Earlier this month Food GPS<\/a>\u00a0named Liberation Brewing Co.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0on its list of anticipated breweries soon to open. Based on their social media, it looks like the brewery is set to start serving the Bixby Knolls area any day now.<\/p>\n

Gus\u2019s World Famous Fried Chicken<\/strong> will soon bring its Memphis-style spicy bird to 2580 Long Beach Boulevard, EATER LA reported<\/a>. Currently in Southern California, Gus\u2019s has locations in the greater Los Angeles area on Crenshaw, as well as in Burbank. <\/p>\n

Local blogger Brian Addison of LONGBEACHIZE\u00a0shed a light<\/a> on what EATER LA dubbed the \u201cLong Beach shakeups<\/a>.\u201d Working Class Kitchen<\/strong>\u00a0has closed the doors to its Zaferia butchery and shop and is seeking a new location with more foot traffic, while Commodity<\/a><\/strong>, a neighboring pop-up coffee bar and The Caffeinated Kitchen<\/a><\/strong>, local Long Beacher Jen Hackler\u2019s vegan donutery, will soon be moving in.

[#TAKEOVER] I\u2019ve always said that one of the best things about traveling is the food you get to try from all of these amazing countries. Lucky for us, we have a wide variety of food all within our city. Though the recipes may change and the flavors may not be exactly as you remember from that summer trip to Rome, the wide range of foods that we can find here is a perfect example of the diversity that we enjoy within our city limits. Remember that Long Beach is one of the most diverse cities in America. Embrace it because it\u2019s beautiful. #notsponsored @georgesgreekcafe @dineopensesame @suralbc @panvimarnthaicuisine @laparolacciausa @sevillalb #PhoHongPhat #flavorofpunjab #4thstreettaquerialamexicana #mvpsgrillandpatio #39degrees ### Want a shot at a takeover?
