Are you guys serious? The Italian food in LA can't compare to NYC everytime I order pasta its sum pseudo California experiment. Where does one find the REAL thing.
We're desperate, but serious.

Without the loyal (?) opposition, I fear the facade will go the way of the Berlin Wall and the Maginot Line.
France and Berlin are very nice places today.
Someone with the moniker Hollywood
must have an opinion on Bordeaux? Hey, if you're buying, I'm drinking it. I like Bordeaux but Rhone's more in my price range.

So why is the stock down today? Maybe it's that 47:1 P/E ratio.

Angeli Caffe on Melrose is nice and very reasonable, but you won't spot any celebs like at Orso.

This is a question some trial lawyers ask jurors (if the judge lets em get away with it) during voir dire. It's sad how many people pick Jesus and how few pick Plotnicki. Gertrude Stein might be good. Thomas DeQuincey? Jack Kerouac when sober.

I thought Swanson's figured this out years ago.

Craig, the hell with the argument. If you haven't gotten it by now, Steve will argue with you until the moon turns blue, all to no positive end. Instead, those of you with useful, hard information should collate it and put it up. Then we'd have something really worthwhile, both to talk about and to use.
Damn! You went and ruined everything. You weren't supposed to tell him this for six or seven more pages.

How about lack of Pompiers?
What's a lack (?) of firemen have to do with this? Did you see fires burning out of control?

In Los Angeles, it's probably fast food or finger food. At the higher end, I'd say mashed potatoes or pasta.

As for Italy being unclean, it's got a gritty edge to it that isn't present in other countries like France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland etc.
Some of us would call this gritty edge "lust for life."

Let's ratchet this baby up a bit. Do you not agree that French wine is superior to Italian wine?
In the interest of a good fight, please don't agree.

Why isn't it shrimp with shrimp sauce? Is the sauce ever used on lobster?
-
Thanks again. Hmm...food coloring?

Maybe Mondavi will follow Andrew Firestone on one of the Bachelor shows.

Since it sounds like you won't be drinking the wine, why not just let your husband order by the glass? That way he can try a couple of wines if he likes, or even a cocktail.

1. How about The Grill Room at the Windsor Court or The Rib Room at the Royal Orleans?
2. Brigtsen's.

This doesn't make sense to me. There must be promotional and other considerations at work. How else to explain how some obscure one person site can be so high in the voting?

Sona was reviewed very positively in the Times. A cerebral, and delightful place whose complexity occasionally trips it up.
Registration is required for the LA Times, click on restaurants in the link.
Here's another try at the link.

Virtually any supermarket California Roll is made with this abomination. But they charge like it's real crab, not Krab.
virtually every single california roll i've ever had, at sushi restaurants, is made with this. i quite like it.
You, my friend, have been to the wrong sushi restaurants.
You're in for a treat when you get the real thing. -
Pollock that is formed, coloured and sold as crab and the restaurants that are cocky enough to list crab on the menu and then serve up that crap.

I'm bumping this topic up after reading it.
I am headed to the Final Four this weekend
...after being in NO for a wedding about 2 weeks ago. 
We ate at Galatoire's/CDM/Dickie Brennans/Central Grocery/Mr. B's/Parasol's/Tujaques (will go back...loved the bar).
I will plan on a Susan Spicer place for this go 'round, but any locally-loved recommendations, maybe off the beaten path type of place, would be appreciated. I'll have a car, but we're staying at the Fairmont.
I'll be having a nice dinner or two on the expense account, but mainly looking for mid-price to cheapy eats.
Thanks in advance and Hook 'em Horns!
Yeah, Spicer's Bayona is great. And Brigtsen's is worth the drive.
Hook Em, indeed. Not since Slater Martin.....

But I do think that my favorite chocolate-based dessert is the warm chocolate cake with hot fudge center, with vanilla ice cream, which I allow to melt and soak into the cake before eating it. Alternatively I have been known to pour cream over my chocolate cake.
My dad introduced us to pouring milk over cake when we were young. I think it was a Depression-era thing he was raised on. We still offer cake "in a bowl with milk" to other family and friends who think we're nuts, but it's great.
The Depression era story I get from my father in law is about coffee soup--coffee poured over slices of bread in the old bowl.

I have to get out more.
Wanna buy a car?

Angeleno Magazine has just come out with their 2003 restaurant awards.
Is it Angelina or Angeleno? Regardless, a friend went to their Oscar party and said it was a bust. Just a bunch of wannabees. So, maybe their picks are well suited.
oh,where to eat "cheap Italian" in LA ?

Other possibilities: Farfalla, 1978 Hillhurst, Campagnola, 1553 Westwood Bl, Far Niente, 204 1/2 N. Brand (Glendale), Marino, 6001 Melrose Ave. On the high end, people either love or hate Giorgio Baldi, 114 W. Channel Road (Santa Monica), which gets a lot of visitors from Malibu Colony. Ciao.
