An amazing meal at Crustacean with an incredible range of wines and a perfect custom menu…
Some awesome Chinese Islamic eats — worth passing on the wine…
Perhaps LA’s “highest end” Indian restaurant with a very interesting take on both the cuisine of the subcontinent and on thematic menu design…
Overall, some very good Thai — LA has so many of them!
This place is just weird. And far. It’s not bad. But it’s weird.
Monterey Palace turns out some really first rate banquet food with a ton of super fresh seafood…
Another great omakase at this highly rated valley sushi+ spot…
Some blow out the colon spicy Thai in Thai Town…
A solid lineup of Pavies at “easy to organize but not that great” B.O.A. steakhouse…
Nothing like a 7 hour “double Superbowl meal!” in the giant private room!
Some hit or miss SGV Cantonese along with a whole lotta Champagne…
After several years I return to this hedonist haunt, drawn in by the temptation of lots of Grange…
Two meals at Bistro Na — one in the private room and one not — provide contrast even if the food doesn’t always do so…
An amazing Billecart-Salmon winemaker dinner at the incomparable Borgeses – decked out in full Halloween finery…
Anajak has a LOT of buzz about it. It’s a Thai place on Ventura in the valley and it’s one of the hardest reservations in the city to get…
An awesome return visit to Jitlada to hang out with our friend Jazz and to “check in” on how tasty their food is in 2022.
Three giant asian wine meals in 24 hours — by number three I was starting to leak at the seams…
Awesome blow out at Majordomo where we ate an entire farm and swilled way too much high extraction grape juice…
For the “meat” of our crawl (the larger finishing meal) we ended up at the far east (Rowland Heights) branch of Beijing Tasty House…
