a 72 hour food tour of los angeles...

This past weekend, our favorite New York food-lovin' couple, Mari & Jason, were back in town. So instead of only 36 hours like last time, we had a whole 72 hours to take them on a Part 2 food tour of LA {and to convince them to move here}. We focused on more a few of our favorite ethnic spots this time with a few other non-ethnic favorites woven in there...

Thursday:
Lunch at Gjelina— loved the Roasted Corn and Namako and Duck Sausage Mushroom Pizza...

Cookie stop at Platine — chewy and delicious, the chocolate chip and brown butter cookies were my favorite...

Dinner at Jitlada — my favorite Thai restaurant in LA so far...favorites include the Green Curry Dragon Eggs, Crispy Papaya Salad, Mint Noodles, Garlic Crab, and Crying Tiger Pork...

Friday:
Dinner at Animal— loved the Heirloom Tomato Salad, Pig Ears, Crispy Pig Head, and the Bacon Chocolate Bar...

Saturday:
Brunch at Canelé — our usual weekend staple...Fried Chicken Sandwich and Soft Dutch Pancake with Meyer Lemon Cream...

Lunch at Michael Voltaggio's new sandwich shop, Ink Sack — tried one of all seven sandwiches...my favorites were the Banh Mi and the Jose Andres...

Dinner at Red Medicine — favorites included the Green Papaya, Chicken Dumplings, Brussels Sprouts, Coconut Bavarois, and the Bitter Chocolate

Sunday:
Brunch at the Hollywood Farmer's Market — I always get a pupusa from Delmy's and the Thai Coconut Pancakes from the Thai food stand

Late Lunch at Corner Place — a Korean BBQ restaurant known for their Dohng Chim Ee Gooksoo...a cold, vinegary, pickled radish soup.

Finally, we ended the feast with a snack at La Monarca {not shown}...the Mexican cornbread was amazing. Needless to say, we were stuffed and Mari made a salad for dinner last night as we needed to lighten up a bit after all that eating. It was intense, yet amazing...and so fun enjoying good food with good friends... — Joy
