I'm craving South Indian food!

IMHO, I don't understand why people go to Annapurna. The food is bland, the dosas are not nearly crispy enough, and the food not well spiced. And, to top it off, they serve a dosa stuffed with processed mozzerella cheese product. I love Udipi Palace in Artesia, but it is sadly, quite a trek. As far as Bombay Cafe, I can't stomach paying that much for a dosa, which is essentially rice flour filled with potatoes. Will have to try Paru's.

Best Wine Pairing in LA?

I have recently tried wine pairing at Bistro LQ and XIV. While I was impressed by some of the pairings by the sommelier at BistroLQ, I was underwhelmed by the fact that these places poured wines off of their wine by the glass menu - nothing special. Does an LA restaurant offer wine pairing that goes beyond the wine by the glass menu? Prices would also be helpful.

Best Brown Rice Sushi

Yes, I know it is not authentic, but can anyone any tips for the best restaurant in LA serving brown rice sushi? I used to frequent Kula in Century City, but have been without a brown-rice sushi home since Kula sadly closed down... Thanks, in advance, to all replies.
