Re: Los Angeles: Things To Do And Places To Go

I don't want to derail, but it’s the overall LA food culture that has a bad rep compared with SF or NY, at least among the foodies and chefs I knew. And it’s well deserved. Sure, some of the top...

Re: Los Angeles: Things To Do And Places To Go

A lot of food, which is funny because of LA's reputation for bad food. Here are the food places that I like:

Sandwiches:

Re: Anyone know downtown LA enough to recognize where this is?

It's Vibiana Cathedral on Main @ 2d Street. I'm pretty sure the pic was taken from a loft in the Higgins Building.

Re: Which restaurant at the Venetian is better?

Bouchon. Not even close, especially if you're a food snob like me. The atmosphere is just OK, but the food is among the best in Vegas.

Re: ICOOT Quickfire Challenge: Something Sweet (1/31)

Mermade,

I love your brioche/marmalade dish. The brioche looks so awesome, and the fresh marmalade would highlight the fresh citrus like nothing else. Really a smart and tasty looking dish!
