Where I Go Out
Charred octopus
$$$, Happy Hour, Modern, Full Bar, American, New American, Downtown
"The charred octopus often changes but is always good. Last time I was there, they had octopus skewers that came with two sauces, charred tomato and chimichurri, both of which are terrific flavor combinations."
Kimchee
$, Korean, Koreatown
"The spicy, housemade kimchee is an excellent pairing with all their different tofu combinations. It's perfect for a cold day in LA, especially with all the different side dishes they offer."
Venison carpaccio
$$$, Breakfast, Italian, Downtown
"You can really taste the earthiness of the beets and walnuts when paired with the gaminess of the venison. It's so great."
Maple walnut sticky bun
$$, Pizza, Bakery, Breakfast, Northeast
"Zoe used to work with me at Joe’s, and these sticky buns she makes are amazing and perfectly prepared every time."
Prime rib eye, braised beef cheek
$$$$, French, Full Bar, Downtown
"The smooth potato purée with braised beef cheek and slices of no-fat beef rib eye are always cooked perfectly. The slices of raw, white mushrooms and truffles are an amazing way to finish the dish."
