Staff Writer
Jordan Cooper is a food and culture writer based in Venice Beach, California. Before turning to writing full-time, he spent nearly two decades working in restaurants, first as a line cook, then front of house, eventually managing small independent venues around Los Angeles. That experience gave him an understanding of food culture that goes beyond recipes and trends, into the economics, labor, and community dynamics that shape what ends up on people’s plates.
At VegOut, Jordan covers food culture, nightlife, music, and the broader cultural forces influencing how and why people eat. His writing connects the dots between what is happening in kitchens and what is happening in neighborhoods, bringing a ground-level perspective that comes from years of working in the industry rather than observing it from the outside.
When he is not writing, Jordan can be found at live music shows, exploring LA’s sprawling food scene, or cooking elaborate meals for friends. He believes the best food writing should make you understand something about people, not just about ingredients.
