Review: The Georgian Room Still Feels Like an Underground Gem

Eater LA

“The Georgian Room, a glamorous subterranean supper club hidden beneath Santa Monica’s the Georgian hotel, remains notoriously difficult to find. That’s by design. During the Prohibition, it operated under the name ‘the Griffin Room,’ a de facto speakeasy where the Hollywood elite brushed elbows with the criminal underground’s most infamous names."  

Review: Make Way for Old Gold Tomato Pies

Eater LA

An introduction to Old Gold Tomato Pies, a retro slice shop in Los Feliz that runs on razor-thin margins and ’90s nostalgia. Chef Jeffrey Vance draws inspiration from his childhood to create sfincione slices topped with high-quality, locally sourced ingredients and produce.

Review: At Pann’s, Googie Architecture (and Really Good Patty Melts) Live On

Eater LA

“At the intersection of La Cienega Boulevard, La Tijera Boulevard, and Centinela Boulevard sits an eccentric building that looks ready for liftoff. Welcome to Pann’s, a beloved Los Angeles diner run by the Poulos family that has become something of a local landmark; it remains one of the finest surviving examples of Googie Architecture in the city.”

Review: Berenjak

FOUND LA

“Each location of Berenjak comes with a name and enigmatic theme, usually something sonorous and cryptic, like a poem written by a sphinx. The theme at Berenjak’s ninth outpost — and first in the US open to the public — is ‘A Persian Garden in the Arts District.’ Some might call it a gimmick, but it works.”

Review: In Its Time

FOUND LA

In San Marino, floral designer Coco Ge reflects on a life spent between the US and China; her arrangements carry a subtle, naturalistic sophistication.

“In Its Time offers options for nearly every occasion. New baby? Send them Fresh Pink, a simple, enchanting peony bouquet. Situationship you’d like to turn into something more? Love is in the Air might be right.”

The 10 Restaurants That Defined Los Angeles Dining in 2025

Resy

“You might think of 2025 as the year Los Angeles grew up. January began with the most catastrophic fire disaster in L.A. County’s history, the impacts of which are still being felt. In June, immigration raids rocked L.A.’s Latino community. And that was just the start.”

From a much-anticipated Malaysian hawker-inspired dinner club to a daring bistro that’s redefining farm-to-table dining, here are the ten restaurants that made the biggest impact on L.A. this year.

Food & Wine Best New Chef Restaurant Guide 2025 - Los Angeles

Food & Wine

The Los Angeles Restaurant Guide features 31 restaurants and interviews with seven chefs, including Nancy Silverton, Suzanne Goin, Jon Yao, Sarah Kramer, Sarah Hymanson, Katianna Hong, and Wedchayan Arpapornnopparat.

“Los Angeles’ formidable dining scene comes from its patchwork of communities, wrangled together in a land of year-round sun and Edenic produce. Driving 45 minutes to a strip mall for a meal doesn’t seem so outlandish here. Neither does brushing shoulders with A-listers at dinner. Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Jonathan Gold once wrote of this city, “Congratulations! You live in the world’s culinary capital.” Those words still ring true. Salud, Los Angeles.”

Chewing the Fat with Atsuko Okatsuka

Synonym Magazine

“In her latest special, Father (available on Hulu), comedian Atsuko Okatsuka toys with the concept of fatherhood. Because while her fans affectionately call her Mother, she says she couldn’t feel further from the nurturing, domestically inclined, saint-like image the archetype evokes. She doesn’t have it all together. Her husband, Ryan, does the laundry. And sometimes, food absolutely bores her. Here we chat about the role spice played in forming her American identity, the bay leaf conspiracy, and her go-to Cheesecake Factory order.”

The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again) of Complimentary Bread at Restaurants

Food & Wine

“There’s something undeniably magical about that moment at a restaurant when a basket of warm, complimentary bread arrives at your table. It’s a simple gesture, but it feels like a little celebration: a soft roll, a crisp heel of sourdough, maybe even a golden square of focaccia, all arriving before you’ve even ordered anything. And yet, believe it or not, there are people out there who eye that bread basket with deep suspicion. And while their skepticism may sound a bit crusty, well… they’re not entirely wrong.”

Here's How Chefs Across America Are Reinventing the Filet-O-Fish

Food & Wine

“Today, the Filet-O-Fish is a national treasure. Since the Filet-O-Fish debuted nationwide on McDonald’s menu in 1965, it has become a big seller, to the tune of 300 million sandwiches each year, with an estimated 25% of sales occurring during Lent. It’s been embraced not just by the Roman-Catholics but by many other minority groups as well: Asian immigrants, Muslims, and Jewish people.

And the humble Filet-O-Fish is experiencing a second-wave Renaissance, with chefs across the country serving up original takes on the iconic fish sandwich. From fishball sandos to fillets topped with caviar, here are six restaurants in America reinventing the Filet-O-Fish.”

Where to Eat and Drink in Inglewood with 1010 Wine and Events’ Leslie Jones

Resy

“Respectfully, there’s nowhere in the city doing it quite like 1010 Wine. An oasis for wine lovers in the Black community, Inglewood’s first and only wine bar is a sophisticated, polished space made to cater to wine aficionados and rookies alike.”

Less than 1% of U.S. wineries are Black-owned, making sisters and co-owners Leslie and Le Jones’ wine haven nothing short of radical. And there’s no better person than Leslie to lead an eating tour of Inglewood: all of her favorite places to eat, drink, and celebrate in the City of Champions.
