My last Sauvages for a while (because I’ve been busy with work)…
An interesting new dim sum concept that started off very promising but has been floundering of late…
This is the most unusual Chinese cooking I’ve had in a while and is very fusion, but instead of just making me want some “real” Chinese food these dishes were just excellent unto themselves…
Michael Palmer arranged this incredible Harlan tasting dinner in two parts. For the venue we took over a room at Cut…
This San Francisco vaguely southeast Asian fusion was pretty solid…
Beloved Heroic Italian — former home of America’s best Gelato — is no more, but the space has been reborn as Xuntos…
Crazy fun evening with 23 people, max chaos, over 30 wines, and tons of food…
Another solid middle grade hot pot place…
You wouldn’t believe that this fairly authentic (and very tasty) Hunan restaurant is located in 1000 oaks!
Really delicious new restaurant. Indian flavors but modern treatment. Very refined…
Don’t tell the chef what to do…
Another stunning dinner at the Borgese’s…
Great Old School French in Sherman Oaks with the gang…

This sneaky space off Ocean Blvd has a very pretty courtyard — although it’s pretty hard to find…
We’ve been going here for a long time… it hasn’t changed much…
Certainly in the top 2-3 steakhouses in LA…
Checking out this Chinese Fusion noodle joint because I’m a noodle fiend…
Another awesome summer night at Majordomo. Great place for a big party. Don’t go on a date!
This location used to be Chang’an — not the one in Tustin but a different Chang’an I never visited — but now it’s changed to Tang Dynasty and not bothered to change signs. They just wrote in Tang Dynasty by hand…
