Clearly I need to get out more. I can't get the #1 out of my head - trout roe with peas and lemon curd at Red Medicine

Oh my. You and me, both, Heidi. I *used* to think I was on top of what was going on with the LA trendoid restaurant scene, but I have to admit (ashamedly), that I've only heard of about half of these places, Nevertheless, I'd take any one, or all, of these dishes in a heartbeat, save maybe the one with the geoduck. I've heard those are......ummmmm.....chewy at best. I was particularly intrigued by the dish with the short ribs and the strawberry accent.
