BBR (best bite roundup)
Porridge + Puffs
Yes, yes, porridge is in the name of the restaurant so they better be able to back it up, but with the recent n/naka collaboration they set a new bar for themselves. It dangerously enters chuggable territory.
Ototo
I hadn’t had the jellies before, but this was so refreshing. It’s the perfect afternoon treat for a hot day where the summer fruit really stands out.
Sushi Tama
Among the 10 piece nigiri omakase, this was probably my favorite bite, though the mackerel and the otoro were good too. The rest of the box was fine 
Pearl River Deli
This is next level hainan chicken and there’s a reason I try to get it every time it’s available.
Majordomo
The Salmon and Ikura Rice Bowl is the ideal (and I suppose only) way to experience Majordomo takeout if you don’t have multiple friends down to split. Highlight of the week.
Fat and Flour
Carrot cake is my all time favorite cake. Nicole Rucker makes the best carrot cake in LA. You can do the math on this one.
