A fourteen-seat French tasting menu behind a side door in Santa Monica, with the Rolling Stones playing. What it costs, why it’s easy to book, and the timing accident that explains both.
-
Four or five visits over eight years to the most reliable expensive restaurant in Los Angeles. What it costs, why the room still doesn’t work for me, and the one thing I’d change.

San Diego’s only three-Michelin-star restaurant, a ten-course tasting menu, and a wine pairing that doubled the bill and erased the evening. What it costs and what I’d do differently.
-
Twenty-plus courses at a fourteen-seat counter in West Hollywood, at close to a thousand dollars a head all in. What it costs, what you get, and why the deposit will lie to your memory.
-
The taco omakase at Enrique Olvera’s Pujol, one of the world’s most famous restaurants. What we paid, what worked, what didn’t, and why I wouldn’t send you here.
