we regretted it when the table next to us got their order

This is all I got…
Cocktails at the The Belmont (La Cienega) - Hot Mango Love (absolut mango, oj, simple syrup, lemon juice, jalapeños) & an Old-fashioned
I dug the Hot Mango Love, but hubs was disappointed with the small, watery ice cubes in his old-fashioned.
Happy Friday!

I sadly pass by their supposedly new but perennially empty locale on San Vicente / Miracle Mile. Does anyone know what’s up with the opening?

I was always led to believe that even non-certified-organic sellers at Farmers Markets are all pesticide-free. But! When Tapia Brothers stopped selling at BHFM I trekked out to the Valley for some of their delicious corn and heard a worker say they do spray their fruits & vegetables. Not sure if that applies to the corn, as I have occasionally found a live, nestling, green wiggler, but it does give me pause.

Just heard about Pomet last night and almost went but ended up at Ippuku instead. Finally got there early enough that they hadn’t run out of the raw dishes (you have to ask for the separate menu). The one with egg yolk and nori was fantastic. The ceviche-like “pickled” was very good. Other favorite dish of the night was squid ink rice. No photos policy so no photos.
The main rules at most markets are that the stuff has to be grown in California and the vendors can sell only the stuff they grew themselves plus at most stuff from two other certified vendors. At most markets, if vendors don’t post that they’re organic, or have a sign saying pesticide-free or whatever, you have to ask. Not all pesticides are unhealthy, some quickly degrade to harmless chemicals.

That carne asada looks amazing. Charred bits and medium-rare chunks.

Hi @thechez5 -
That all looks so good. How were the St Louis-style ribs from ADB?
