Got the 2dudes 1 pan book, anyone gone through that yet?

Ended up at kitchen 24 (not my choice) that place is a trip after the bars. I didnt really understand what the gimmick is, but theres tons of black dudes, and a candy menu. Anyone been here?

this sounds delicious... i need to hit this up.

Hit up Cleo at the Redbury Hotel last weekend. Pretty good.... although some dishes (beet salad, tomoato salad) were a bit too salty. The other dishes were vivrant with flavors.

anyone been to Xino at Santa Monica Place? Is it just another overpriced, overhyped Asian fusion place?

This place is right around the corner from me. Never been. I'll remedy that this weekend.

What's good near the Arclight that's also vegetarian friendly? I love hungry cat, but definitely not vegetarian friendly. Looking for something nice-ish, sort of date-y.

Or, any favorite vegetarian or vegetarian friendly restaurants generally, especially around Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silverlake?

jet, Brown's on Montana is comically expensive but probably the best dry cleaner you can find. They specialize in handling couture and one-of-a-kind items (Oscar gowns, &c.). They may be your best bet for making sure it's done right.

Thanks Morgan, define comically?

Any others? BW is quite a drive for me a little more east would be ideal.

A month old post, but I just tried it the other day. It was pretty good. GF & I split the veggie which was eggplant / aspargus / goat cheese. Will definitely try it again.

There was somewhat of a Newport beach bro contingent hanging out at the bar but eh what are you going to do.

Nice, thanks. But it looks like I've been downgraded to dessert or maybe drinks. So we'll see.
