Alex Cottrell Biography

Alex Cottrell is a Los Angeles-based content creator best known as the "LA Try Guy." Cottrell has carved out a niche as a food enthusiast in L.A., where he highlights lesser-known, mom-and-pop establishments. In a city full of celebrity chefs and Michelin-starred restaurants, Cottrell's content celebrates the local flavors and hidden gems, particularly in neighborhoods like South L.A. and Compton. His genuine curiosity and love for food have made his posts on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok must-watch content for foodies and locals alike.

Originally from Arkansas, Cottrell moved to Los Angeles and quickly immersed himself in the city’s diverse food scene. Reflecting on his exploration of L.A.’s culinary landscape, Cottrell once said, “There were no influencers going down to South L.A. and Compton and all these different places. But I didn't even know where I was. I was just going to get some good food.” Since last year, he has been documenting a variety of local establishments, showcasing everything from vegan food to oxtail. His engaging food adventures have attracted the attention of celebrities such as Dodgers’ Mookie Betts, rapper Jay Rock, and actor Robert Ri’chard, who have joined him in his culinary explorations.

In addition to his food-focused content, Cottrell brings his trademark humor and relatability to his work with the Try Guys, where he tackles various challenges and experiences that entertain millions of viewers. Whether in the kitchen or taking on a wild new activity, Cottrell’s approachable and adventurous spirit has made him a beloved figure both in the online food world and as part of the Try Guys. His contributions behind the camera, as well as on-screen, continue to push creative boundaries.

When he's not documenting his latest food find or creating content for the Try Guys, Cottrell enjoys exploring L.A.’s cultural scene and collaborating with fellow creators. His passion for connecting people through food and shared experiences has solidified his role as a key figure in the digital media landscape, especially for those who love food and authenticity.
