Where I Go Out
Clams, chorizo, & tomato
$$$, Happy Hour, Modern, Full Bar, New American, Venice
"This is one of my favorite Westside restaurants with great cocktails, atmosphere, and food. This dish is a comforting bowl of goodness. It's simple, hearty, and flavorful."
Philly cheesesteak
$$$$, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Tapas, Spanish, Hotel Bar, Beverly Grove
"This two-bite modern version of a Philly cheesesteak is unforgettable. Filled with warm cheese and topped with wagyu beef, it has a light crunch that will keep you coming back."

"The mole sauce here is unreal. Smother tortilla chips with it, add a fried egg, and you have a winning combination."
Bone marrow

"If you like bone marrow, the simple way they execute this is amazing. It's the only bone marrow I continually crave."
Lunch special bento box
