I swear all of this happened in February… I’ll post more extensive reports where appropriate.
Bite of the month was obviously Kato:
Caviar, Dungeness Crab, and Milk Bread (protip: dip the bread in the crab)
Drink of the month also to Kato:
Milk Punch
Danny Boy’s Pizza
Cheese Slice, Sicilian Slice, and a Garlic Knot.
The cheese was good and had a nice crispness to the crust, but the sicilian and garlic knot were great.
Dessert of the month was Camphor:
Kiwi
Best caviar of the month was Angler:
Yeah my favorite dish at Kato was also caviar (I guess that says how much of a starfucker I am 
) but the caviar and pancake at Angler is such a heater

Highly Likely
This small-ish cafe in West Adams punches above it’s weight. They make my favorite hot sauce in LA, and their brunch menu has to be one of the best executed around, even if it’s not going to have anything that you can’t get somewhere else.
New New Kale Salad and Seedy Granola Bowl
Ubiquitous Avocado Toast
Best bread I paid for was Horses:
I mean it is really because of the butter, but very glad I got it this time. IT’S SO SOFT.
Yang’s Kitchen
Another brunch sleeper that deserves more attention. The cooking and ingredients are excellent and the green sauce is basically magic.
Market Grill Plate with Dry-Aged Barramundi
Zumi’s Biscuit Twists
Bang Bang of the month goes to Holbox x Tire Shop Taqueria
Taco de Jaiba - lightly smoked dungeness crab, smoked kanpachi head, house made oaxaca cheese, crab butter salsa macha
JFC
Asada Vampiros
Still my favorite tacos in LA.
Most questionable QPR of the month was Yangban Society:
Everything I’ve had here is delicious, especially this biscuit with gravy, but my wallet always hurts after.
Eszette
Another spot that deserves more attention. It’s a top tier neighborhood restaurant–fantastic cooking and a great low key vibe.
Egg and Anchovy
Small bite/big combo
Shrimp Toast
The reason why I keep coming back to Eszette.
Grilled Cabbage - picked currants, hazelnuts, brown butter vinaigrette, chrysanthemum
Grilled Broccolini - Sbez chili vinegar, citrus, everything spice togarashi
Whole Fish - grilled branzino, confit leeks, meyer lemon kosho, fried brussels sprouts, mushroom sauce
All three dishes here were great—the fish was particularly fantastic.
Best Chocolate Chip Cookie of the month Fat + Flour:
Obviously–look at this beaut.
