Do ya, Katsuya?
Although I spend the lion’s share of my dining out in new or off-the-beaten-path restaurants, occasionally I succumb to the lure of a popular, established place. And that’s a good thing, academically: it’s important to keep a perspective on where people like to dine, what remains popular, and what people’s baseline expectations are. So I [...]

Lincoln Driven 2 Dine: A Dose of Red Medicine
Last night I got to experience an interesting promotion: The reignited Lincoln Motor Company, in order to get people to test drive their new vehicles, offered to buy them dinner (anyone, apparently: if you didn’t have a driver’s license, they’d drive you). Since dinner happened to be at Red Medicine, a place I’d been meaning [...]

Chinatown Chego? Prego!

If the food is enjoyable without distraction, you’re satisfied. Inspiration is rare. That’s just the conservative territory of the resort realm, where gradual change is [...]

Brought To You By The Letter ‘Y’
Surely anyone with a good-food radar knows about Bouchon Beverly Hills, the only Southern California outpost of venerated Napa chef Thomas Keller. But it seems like a lot don’t know his French bistro in the Montage Beverly Hills also features one of his Bouchon Bakery walk-ups, full of classic and creative delicacies. At least judging [...]
