Because every Angeleno loves to eat, even if he has to valet, we bring you Table Stakes: a series that answers man’s eternally recurring question (“Uh, what’s new?”) and recurs once every lunar cycle or so. Bon appétit.
Los Angeles, you may be a sprawling, strip-malled bastion of sunshine, but damn if you haven’t also become the epicenter of a foodie explosion.
An ostentation of restaurants have opened since your correspondent began typing this sentence.
To keep tabs on all of them would be folly.
But to keep tabs on the most worthy? Yeoman’s work, and we’re proud to do it.
Thus we present Table Stakes, a monthly account of the five must-know spots to have swung their doors wide over the past month (or so).
This month:
-
A new form of fried chicken that’ll rock your taste buds
-
A Koreatown foodie haven that’s hidden in a strip mall
-
A new Italian boîte helmed by the Sotto Chef
And more. So dine on. And drink well.
