FYI …
Every Sunday all food industry members are getting the hook up at Same Same in Silver Lake. The Thai restaurant just launched a ‘We Love This Industry Night’ diners who show their “Industry Special” card will receive a specialty menu featuring $5 appetizers and $5 Chang beers.
Must hit up place of the week goes to…
Solidarity in Santa Monica for some Polish food like pierogies stuffed with cheese and potato, mushroom or beef. The “dumplings of Poland” these guys are lightly pan fried to perfection.
Finally, just a quick snapshot of the best thing we’ve eaten in the past week…
The Chermoula Red Snapper served on a bed of beluga lentils and slow roasted plantains at LEONA was exceptional. Available on the lunch menu.
