Los Angeles/Long Beach restaurants?

[Orbit]

I'll be heading to L.A./Long Beach in a couple of weeks--are there any "must-eats" that I shouldn't miss?

Honestly you should be checking more local sites like eater los angeles.

KCRW's Jonathan Gold, with his show Good Food on the Road, also has recommendations you may appreciate.

Some of my favorite places - 

320 Main in Seal Beach south of Long Beach for bistro-style food and excellent cocktails (their Mai Tai is not to be missed)

In LA: Son of a Gun for casual (yet refined) creative seafood dishes (their uni carbonara is to die for), AOC for California-style tapas and Mediterranean-influenced comfort food with great wine pairings, Trois Mec or Petit Trois by Ludovic Lefebvre for reinvented French bistro food

Tragic news and huge loss. Here's Looking at You is one of my favorite restaurants in LA, where I had some of the most interesting and memorable foods (and cocktails).
