i love to eat and travel and document as much of it as i can.
All in local eats
as a treat to myself, i booked dinner for us at Q sushi in downtown LA. it's omakase only, and a set price of $165 per person. it's unique as one of the very, very few places outside of japan serving edo-style sushi.
our meal here was utterly amazing. i loved every, single bite. and we even spotted gordon ramsay! definitely one of the more memorable meals we've had so far this year.
portland's famous pok pok came to LA before i could get to portland, and i'm A-OK with that. and pok pok LA is most certainly part of the amazing chinatown resurgence that is happening right now.
wanting to try something a little different for valentine's day this year, we bought tickets for roomforty's annual valentine's day winemaker dinner.
we recently made the trek out to santa monica to finally eat at belcampo meat co's restaurant with some friends. i already have much love for belcampo as they are my favorite butcher shop; i was very excited to see what they could do with a full bar and kitchen!
this cold, drizzly LA weather is wondrous. and you know what pairs wonderfully with it? a delicious bowl of ramen, and ramen champ in chinatown is a damn good choice.
months ago, we reserved tickets to the new broad museum. coincidentally, it ended up being the opening weekend of neighboring (and much anticipated) restaurant, otium. the space is beautiful, and the food was excellent.
the beautiful new civil coffee opened in highland park a couple weekends ago and we went on opening day to check it out!
i'm pretty sure i've waxed poetic about my love of seafood in the past already, but can i just say again how much i freaking love seafood? A LOT.
