@PorkyBelly cross restaurant comparison with the persimmon burrata dish at birdie G’s
my recent persimmons on a plate power rankings:
rustic canyon > gjelina > mentone > birdie g’s > funke
I love sweet and salty so the cured meats with persimmon pairings were my top two. still need to try the persimmons on a plate at mozza, @moonboy403 review forthcoming?

Went today for lunch. It’s as good as ever. I’m really impressed with the execution. The black bass has perfectly juicy texture and crisped skin. The bucatini is perfectly al dente. Salting is all right. And quality is consistent across the large menu that changes frequently. A+ restaurant.
