Dumpling Home
Last meal with Trisha and Lili. Second time here for me and Andrea and it’s definitely more fun to go with more people since we could try so much more. Line wasn’t too busy to get a seat (i was second in line getting there 20 min before opening). First to come out were the…

Cotogna
This was the only reservation I made in advance of Trisha and Lili coming out because I really wanted to eat here since it was sweet corn season.

Californios
Booked this right after the announcements for their 3rd star. This is Andrea’s favorite restaurant so this was our 8th visit together (9th visit for me) going back to 2019 when they were still in the Mission. I hadn’t realized we hadn’t been here since last May (I was here in November) until I looked…

Damian
We were looking for something a little more low key and since we were in LA we were hoping to get some tasty Mexican food (unlike our failed attempt last trip down here). I found this place not too far from our hotel with open reservations and more importantly it was founded by Enrique Olvera…
