“Sorry Chef Keller, but your iconic flagship is now just a filler bang after the main event.”
Sold out quick. Priced at $550 per person (beverage flight included)… I have other Chinese banquets awaiting me elsewhere. Please report back if any FTCers go.
Only if you can get a reservation.
TFL vs. Kato ROW… Kato ROW may be the harder of the two tables to secure.
non-meadowood reservations are live. review forthcoming.
Oh, this sounds great! Lots of openings still available. I wonder if omicron fears are keeping reservations down, as there’s only inside seating? What a great addition to ROW, but R.I.P. M. Georgina.
Kato-Hayato bang-bang?
Blockquote
Kato completely booked through March.
Are they only doing the $195 tasting menu?
yes, only the $195 tasting menu.
About 13 courses now too. Last time there I believe it was 7, so seems like we’ll be getting some new stuff!
Jury is still out on post-bangs then?
Shibumi
i was told the menu will be entirely new, which means no tapioca-brown butter-uni or boniato yam
What? Pound for pound (maybe more like ounce for ounce) the tapioca brown butter uni was my favorite bite in LA.
all star cast there. Ryan handling the wine duties. Austin doing the cocktails. Going from no alcohol to some of the best in the biz.
disclaimer: Kato is an Astrea client but my experiences with Ryan and Austin pre-date their times at Kato and I have great admiration for what both those guys do in their respective spaces.
