Two dudes, a fafillion restaurants, five senses.
Where I Go Out
LEMONY CHICKEN PIES !!!!!!!!!!!
"LEMONY CHICKEN PIES !!!!!!!!!!! @#kismetlosangeles"
Seared shrimp
"had so much fun cooking w @#10for10"
Phở áp chảo dọn
"Crispy noodles. What else do you have to say?"
Diamond Jim Brady Cut
"Once a year, I need a big chunk of prime rib, and Lawry's is my go-to for that. The Diamond Jim Brady Cut is an extra-thick portion including the rib bone. The history of the building along with the spinning salad—you can't go wrong."
Famous French Dip
"I am a superfan of the Hillstone Group, and this is something that you can get at any of their restaurants."
At My Venues
Onion soup
"This is the best version I’ve ever had. Everything about this classic is perfect."
Churro French toast with cinnamon sugar and Mexican chocolate
"Did you know that our friends at @TroisFamilia in Silver Lake use our Double Fold Vanilla to top their Churro French Toast? Covered with cinnamon sugar and dusted with Mexican chocolate, it's a perfect illustration of Trois Familia chefs Ludo Lefebvre, Jon Shook, and Vinny Dotolo's unique mashup of French, Mexican, and California cuisine."
Fish and chips
"Finally made it to @sonofagunrestaurant. Everything was killer including this fish and chips!!"
Gem lettuce salad
"Thank thank you first bite of the day and it’s so good"
