underrated lunch move at Roberta's Pizza in Platform.

big, addicting flavors all over the pijja palace menu in silver lake.

will be making excuses to drive out to palm springs more often because of hoja blanca pop-ups at las palmas brewing.

a current & ongoing obsession. ichimiann's soba in torrance is special.

when pre-dinner drinks turns into first dinner after seeing plates come out of the scotch lodge kitchen in portland.

from shima aji to tamago to cold smoked saba, nimblefish’s omakase execution was really on point in portland.

when finding out about a pop-up day of works out incredibly well. caught sushi simpin at ButtonMashLA over the weekend. will be keeping an eye out when in the bay area but hopefully there'll be more la appearances.

food was even better than the plates. kodō is worth a visit for the space alone.
