Little Dom's, Los Feliz

This is the roasted peppers and goat cheese at Little Dom's in Los Feliz. Little Dom's recently opened on Hillhurst where much loved Belle Epoche used to be.

Everything I have had there has been excellent. It can be a bit spendy, but you can also do pizza an salad and get out around $20.

The food is well prepared, mostly Northern Italian specialties. This is well worth a visit. Try anything with sausage, or anything with papardelle. The house made pastas are all excellent as are the arrancini (rice balls). The crab salad with shaved fennel is one of the most delicious uses of crabmeat I've ever encountered, and is a vast pile of crab.

Reservations are highly recommended, as it gets very busy.

Lunch with Gail & Rudy

Lunch with long time family friends Gail & Rudy at their home in Patagonia, AZ. Gail made this velvety egg salad paired with tomatoes, olives and roasted asparagus. It was spare, beautifully  composed and delicious.
