Kobe Cheeseburger and Carrot Cake !
Hey Nosh: Finally got the chance and remembered to try Nook Bistro per your recommendation back in Oct.'08. Wow ! Spectacular burger. I think they said the beef was called "Sterling Silver". It was not Kobe. Delicious ! I had a chocolate mousse-like dessert that knocked my socks off with a cup of coffee ! Thanks for the recommendation ! Next up, Philly West, also per your recommendation !
CUT 'Wagyu' Rib Eye
Hey Ipsedixit ! Thanks for that amazing set of comments ! How do you feel about Wagyu Cheeseburgers... ? Just kidding !
I am going to take your recommendation about Wagyu and take a pass on Cut right now and set that money aside for my 401k as you also suggested. I think I also want to see a smackdown brawl between true Japanese Wagyu vs. American Wagyu.
Bon Appetit !
CUT 'Wagyu' Rib Eye
A friend of mine said earlier this month re the Rib Eye at CUT in Beverly Hills:
"CUT was amazing, I had the American Wagyu Rib-Eye and it was spectacular, highly recommended! ".
Kobe Cheeseburger and Carrot Cake !
Thanks very much ! I will try them both. Tried Spark Woodfire Grill on W. Pico, just west of Beverly Drive, last nite, in former space of fabled Orsini's. Although the kobe burger was tasty I won't be going back anytime soon.
Kobe Cheeseburger and Carrot Cake !
Hey Nosh:
Thanks for your comments. All sound ! Hey ! Where are Nook and Philly West ?
Yes, R+D is owned by same corp. you mentioned. The burger at R+D is quite tasty.
Not as big as at LITERATI II, though. But bring a camera. It's a work of art. The presentation is special ! The service was outstanding the evening I was there:
friendly and sincere. No tude. I was rather surprised, actually.
Thanks !

Kobe Cheeseburger and Carrot Cake !
At LITERATI II in West Los Angeles at corner of Bundy and Wilshire. Burger is a MONSTER !
The Carrot Cake is INCOMPARABLE ! Service is fine, typical l.a.
If it's GREAT SERVICE you want, however, do not pass go, head directly to R + D KITCHEN in Santa Monica on Montana Ave., in the former space for many years of Wolfgang Puck's Cafe, but more recently a couple of unsuccessful eateries. The Cheeseburger at R+D is prepared by an artist, e.g., it's Perfect ! Bring a camera ! Fries are a treat too in the sundae-stemesque cup wrapped in wax paper. Carrot Cake not nearly as good as at LITERATI II. The service is EXCEPTIONAL, however ! Run, don't walk if you are desperate to be treated with sincerity
and smiles and kindness.
