You&#8217;re in Los Angeles for pity&#8217;s sake, the home of Philippe&#8217;s the Original, the place where the French Dip Sandwich was invented. You have no business ordering a French Dip Sandwich anywhere but Philippe&#8217;s.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A French Steakhouse at the Grove. I wish I could be effusive in my praise of Morel’s. The thing it’s got going for it, basically, is that it’s one of the first things you’ll see when you arrive at the Grove. It sits right by the entrance to the Parking, so they got you coming [...]]]></description>

What’s nice about Bird and Pick, as opposed to its chief suburban competitor, Tevana, is that it shows you the Tea. Now, both places are pretty good, and you can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The best red-leather, first-class, star-of-the-show-is-your-steak, this-is-how-it’s-done restaurants in all of Southern California. This is what I guess five-star restaurants are supposed to be line. Excellently pressed linens, a Waiter standing by, sweeping the crumbs into a handy tin, aged beef prepared perfectly every time. Yeah, Arroyo Chop House is one of those places. It’s also [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A chain of Tex-Mex Restaurants&#8230;that may serve the best Margaritas in town. A Tex-Mex style Mexican Restaurant, owned by this family, has been in continuous operation in Los Angeles since 1923 (when the family opened up the Sonora Café). They know what they’re doing. It’s good food, but it’s a bit of a tell that [...]]]></description>

Where I work, one of the Spanish Film Societies opened up a branch office, so I have access to plenty of advice. That being said, for al the time I’ve spent trying to find someplace to replace La [...]]]></description>

It’s buried in the heart of a multilevel Asian Strip mall in old Chinatown, but she is definitely the place to go. Now, [...]]]></description>

It’s a nice little place, buried in the heart of a local strip mall. If you’re not careful (and I haven’t been on a few occasions) you [...]]]></description>

I recognize the tart and somewhat spicy vinegary tastes of Texas (on whose Southern Cooking Tradition I grew up on). I also recognize the syrupy sweetness of [...]]]></description>
