I was lucky to be invited to join several PuristS for an epic 'meat' dinner at chi Spacca restaurant. This restaurant opened last year by Mario Batali, Nancy Silverton and Joe Bastianich and is located next to their Osteria Mozza and Pizzeria Mozza restau...
The pano bianco with drippings sounds a bit heavy. The rib-eye looks delicious. How would you rate the steak compared to other places you've been to? -MW
The bone-in NY strip was very good, but I still like the rib eye at Mastro's better. If you go, I highly recommend the tomahawk pork chop. It was delicious. Regards, ED-209
That looks so good. And the dishes kept on getting better. They were fabulous charcuterie plates but then hot plates just looked even more amazing. It'd be hard to pace yourself by not eating all the charcuterie and save room for the main courses.
During my visit two weeks ago, a local PuristS member took me to Basix Cafe in West Hollywood. It was decent and reasonably priced. I still go to Wurstkuche and The Pie Hole, for sausage and pie, every time I come down to LA. During my visit last week; Ha...
I've been to Wurstkuche a few years ago. The sausages were good, but I'm kinda territorial and don't like the community seating. Plus the area is kinda sketchy. The Pie Hole sounds good though. Regards, ED-209
Maple Custard at Pie Hole. I once had a friend who once said, "the first meal is on me, but every dish later you have at that restaurant, you owe me a nickel." This is one that I'd be happy to submit for.
. . . we've gotta go to Chema's Tacos in Whittier. Carne asada, tripas, lengua, al pastor, and cabeza - and that's it. Nothing else on the menu except chips and salsa. Been a long time, but from treasured memory, Chema offered some of the finest beef in L...
Hmmm, Chema's sounds interesting. If it's anything like your recommendation for Arry's then I'd love to try it out. So when are you taking me? :) Regards, ED-209
. . . on a Saturday to meet up at his place, then we'll all drive down to Chema's in one car. Next stop will be Scatch in La Mirada for an hour or so of pool, then pastrami at Arry's for dessert. Sounds good? :-)
. . . in Pasadena. Excellent Lebanese cuisine, fabulous beef and lamb, loads of vegetarian dishes, and best of all, very reasonably priced for the quality served. Let me put it this way: Dad, Uncle Jake, and myself make the trip from Camarillo to Pasadena...
