I have a sushi question that has plagued me for years. It's about the sauce/seasoning used in preparing omakase. I love the sushi preparation that Nozawa, Sushi Park, and Sasabune do. I am less of a fan of the preparation that Takao and Sushi Zo use. I believe that Takao and Sushi Zo use more ponzu and yuzu. Sushi Zo seems to use ponzu and yuzu in every dish. Takao also uses a lot of shiso leaf. But I'm not sure if I'm getting my sauces right. Am I right in my guess about ponzu and yuzu?

Thanks so much for your help!

I host home poker games, and I have purchased catering from Baby Blues BBQ. I'm from the Deep South, and I love their food, which is not overpriced, but definitely not a bargain. I've also been happy with catering from:

Phillips BBQ (as others have posted) and

Original Texas BBQ King

The strawberry is fantastic.

Are there any deli/cafes in West LA similar to Rita Flora, Joan's on Third, or The Little Door Market? I have been to Clementine, which is quite good, but parking at lunch is terrible and so is getting a table.

Woo Lae Oak of Seoul is on the expensive side, but very novice-friendly. Hardcore Korean BBQ fans say it's too westernized, but it's still delicious. I haven't been in a while though. Soot Bull Jeep is great too, but not "fancy."

Who has the best Philly cheesesteak sandwich and gyro in LA? Preferably open late on the westside and maybe evoking the "on a budget" college-style experience. I'm craving a nostalgic sandwich from my 20s! I like The Great Greek on Ventura Blvd, but it's far and not the "on the go" style I'm looking for. Thanks!!

Can you please give me some more details on where this new place is?

Crumbs is pretty amazing, but also very sweet. Has anyone tried the cupcakes at Jack n Jill's in Beverly Hills?
