What's the joint that has closed that you miss even dearly now and it's possible that the chef or another version of the restaurant has resurfaced somewhere?

Moustache Cafe (Westwood Village): Best Grand Marnier souffle ever.

Tung Lai Shun (San Gabriel): Outstanding big Silk Road bing with scallion.

Chasen’s (BHPO): Dependable entertainment industry joint with comfy booths.

Harry’s Bar (Century City): Watering hole after work.

L’Escoffier (Beverly HIlls): At the old Beverly Hilton location. Grand dame French dishes prepared with proper sauces. Everyone dressed to the nines.

Kate Mantelini (Beverly Hills): Fun late night diner. Even De Niro and Pacino shared a table there in Michael Mann’s “Heat”.

Lol indeed. Positively antediluvian. This is the OG “I miss this place” thread on the FTC board.

Chasen’s (BHPO): Now a Bristol Farms.

Harry’s Bar (Century City): Now the CAA building in Century City.

L’Escoffier (Beverly HIlls): At the old Beverly Hilton location, since demolished. Chef there was Michel Blanchet, if memory serves.

Pueblo in the OC Mix was in our regular rotation. I always thought they were underrated. Their dishes never disappointed and were some of my favorite bites in OC.
