Finally, just a quick snapshot of the best thing we’ve eaten in the past week…
The title Roasted Chicken on the menu at Marvin does it no justice. It’s not what you think, its better, way way better than you could have imagined. Chicken with the skin on is wrapped in parsley is cooked to perfection and topped with a buttery sauce. It was one of the best dishes I had all year and it’s only January. The Rigatoni Bolognese in the back ground also gets top billing for one of the best pastas in my book. Please go to Marvin on Beverly Blvd. chances are I’ll be there eating the Roasted Chicken.
