Recipes from our Favorite LA Restaurants

Son of A Gun - Fried Chicken Sandwich

We have spoken of our love for this sandwich before, and we can't wait to make it at home next.

Bestia - Sea Urchin Pasta

Bestia has some amazing dishes on their menu, and this pasta is both simple and standout.

Lucques - Summer Fruit Salad with Arugula and Almonds

It's the perfect time of year to use up your late summer fruit in this delicious salad.

Guisados - Cochinita Pibil Tacos

We could never make an LA food list without including tacos, and these are some of the best.

Few desserts are this deliciously decadent.

What We're Talking About This Week

A Gjusta Feast

Bon Appétit just announced their top 10 new restaurants for the year, and California is very well represented, with Al's Place and Rintaro in San Francisco at #1 and #8 respectively on the list, and LA's Gjusta and Petit Trois taking the second and third slots. 

Al's Place's Pickled Fries

 If you aren't lucky enough to live in California, Bon Appétit also shares some of their favorite recipes from the top ten restaurants, which you can check out here.

It's definitely all about food this week in San Francisco, with Eat Drink SF happening over the weekend.  The foodie festival heads to Los Angeles next weekend.

In the meantime, LA is hosting FYF Fest, a music festival featuring Kanye, Morrissey, Bloc Party, FKA Twigs, Dinosaur Jr., and Belle & Sebastian. 

 Summer and all of its wonderful trips are coming to an end.  We love this list of 12 Things You Should Do Every Time You Travel.  A few reminders never hurt anybody.
