Best French Food in L.A. or the S.F. Valley

Wow, snarky much? The OP asked about SF Valley - for the Valley, these are French restaurants. You might not find them up to your refined tastes, but they've all been is business long enough that plenty of others do.

John O'Groats opening in Encino?

I was driving down Ventura (right near Woodley) and could have sworn I saw a sign in a new building (the one with the Walgreens) for John O'Groats. Edit - just noticed on website that they are opening September/October.

Who has the Best Pizza Margherita (Neapolitan Style)?

I had a really good one at Madeo's last month. I'm go out on a limb and say it was the best neapolitan pizza I've had in LA. I hesitate to say anything was best for fear of attack from some of you hardcore chows, but sorry, it was really really good, pricey for pizza but damn good.

Baby Shower Kosher for Passover Ideas???

Hi All,

I'm co-hosting a baby shower that will fall during Passover. So I need some help with a menu that is kosher for passover. Anyone have any ideas for menu or recipes that I could use? Shower starts at 11:30, so I'm serving lunch to 20 ladies. Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Thanks!!!

ISO - Coconut Water

I recall seeing fresh coconuts with small holes already made (with saran film over them) sold at Whole Foods, you just grab a straw and are good to go. I know you said you were looking for the can, but the fresh tastes better.

If you still want the cans, I've seen those too (without the sugar and bits) at Whole Foods, Follow Your Heart, and Full of Life.

Hamantashen fillings

I've seen the canned poppyseed and prune fillings in the Jewish section at Ralphs too Sherman Oaks, Encino, North Hollywood, Universal City locations.

Best won ton soup?

Was it the place that used to be next to Amir's Falafel? I forgot the name but that place was a family favorite when I was growing up.

Gluten-free crumble, anyone?

I would try almond meal/flour in place of the other flours. Mix with butter and brown sugar. I made a pear and berry crumble using the almond flour a few weeks back. Tasted great, almond added a nice addition. I haven't had much luck with rice flour in the same way, not sure why but just didn't have the right texture.
