Summer Nights with Puck

I was just reading my Daily Candy newsletter and I found out that my favorite chef, Wolfgang Puck, is opening a new Los Angeles restaurant! Yay! It's called WP24 and it's in the Ritz-Carlton on Olympic. This Los Angeles restaurant is positioned at the top of the Ritz. I've already decided what I'm going to order at this Los Angeles restaurant and I'm literally salivating at the thought of it. Don't judge, you know you do it too. So to start I want with the Crispy Suckling Pig, with Black Plum Purée, Pickled Cipollini, and Sweet Bean. And then I want the Steamed Live Santa Barbara Spot Prawns with Aromatic Citrus-Soy Sauce, Hot Chili-Orange Oil, and veggies. And I want wine. Lots of wine. Time to make my reservation at this Los Angeles restaurant.

Pizza and Beer. Need I Say More?

Nothing beats Saturday afternoon pizza and beer. I've been searching for the Los Angeles restaurant that serves the best pizza and stumbled on Pepz Pizza. It's actually a small chain with 6 locations in the Los Angeles area, including Anaheim, Yorba Linda, La Habra and Placentia. This Los Angeles restaurant serves the normal fare: pizza, salad, wings and pastas. The service is very friendly with a familial attitude. I recommend the Alfredo pizza which has a white sauce, chicken, and onion. Pretty legit if you're feeling like a dietary splurge. In fact, there is a deal with SocialBuy.com, where you can get $20 worth of food for only $10 (and it's valid at all six locations!). In addition, there is take-out, delivery and outdoor dining available, so you can get whatever your heart desires at this Los Angeles restaurant.

Living the High Life

I just read about The Lounge at WP24, which just soft-opened at the new Ritz-Carlton on 900 W Olympic Blvd. It's located on the 24th floor and looks like a posh Los Angeles restaurant. I had a peek this this Los Angeles restaurant menu and am stoked to check it out. I'm down to try the Aviation cocktail, which is Hendrick’s, Luxardo Maraschino, Lemon and Crème de Violette. And the food had me salivating already, like the Tempura Green Beans with Goucho jang Chili Aioli and Curry Salt and also the fire roasted pork belly. Yum... I'm looking to go to this Los Angeles restaurant sometime this week.

How I love Paris

I'm going to Paris this summer and I felt like I needed a little primer, in the form of a Los Angeles restaurant. Introducing Le Saint Amour in Culver City. I went for lunch with a co-worker and really enjoyed this Los Angeles restaurant. I started with the French Onion Soup, which was heavy on the cheese and sherry, which are basically my fave things ever. Then I had the seafood crepes, which are still making my mouth water and ended with the chocolate mousse with cointreau. The service at this Los Angeles restaurant was impeccable, the ambiance was sweet, and the food was definitely worth it. Now I just can't wait to go to Paris.
