Rehearsal Dinner in Sonoma
We are looking to do a rehearsal dinner in Sonoma proper or perhaps somewhere in that valley if we can't find a place in town. We need a place that can handle 25 or a place we can shut down. Foodie focused. Doesn't have to be extravagant, but should be tasty. If it were in LA, I'd say something like Luccues or AOC or Locanda Venetta if that helps.
Bored With Hollywood...help!
I'm bored with all the choices offered in Hollywood. We don't do sceney sceney places...Social or Rock Bar or Geisha House...Like them for the right occasion but we prefer high end foodie driven places...Been more times than I can count to Hungry Cat, Lou, Cafe Stella, Dustys, Ita-Cho, Mozza, Ammo, Vinoteca, Cafe Des Artistes, The Bowery, Sushi Ike, AOC, Pastis, Cynthias, Celadon (blech!), Chameau, Campanile and the rest of La Brea's pantheons to cuisine, Edendell Cafe, Malo, Cobras and Matadors, blah blah blah blah . Not into things like Budda's Belly (there's just something off...too expensive for what it is). Sona you can't just drop in for a meal. Lucques bar menu is fab...but you have to wait til 10:00. Still haven't made it to Hatfields...but saving for a special occasion...I just want more ideas for solid, hole in the wall to slightly upscape places that we haven't been to aaaaaa thhhouuuuussannndddd tiiiiiimmmeesssss, that aren't on Abbot Kinney, and we can add to our rotation. Help.
Where do I find the best Croque Monsieur in LA
There is a little french cafe on Cahuenga...right before it transitions to ventura blvd called California Canteen. The staff is French, despite the name of the place...and they serve a real old school Croque Monsieur. Crispy white bread, thinly sliced ham, covered in a swiss cheese bechemel sauce. It's served with frites. So good...you want to die.
