Pithy pathy pathos...

Our beloved Jonathan Gold has hit us again. The only writer ever to win a pulitzer for food reviews happens (thankfully) to find the city of angels to be his gastrointestinal muse... I think last year he did 100 must have's in LA - and this year he's out with his 99 Essential LA Restaurants...

Amongst them, within jaunting distance...LA MILL
"The past year has seen a lot of fascinating new restaurants open in Los Angeles, but the most interesting of them all may be a coffee shop in the restaurant starved heart of Silver Lake...easily the most exciting cooking at this price point in Los Angeles."

If you're diligent about keeping a copy of the article around (or access to it) - this little list could provide respite and adventure for years to come for stranded Angelinos wondering where else we might be able to eat on a Wednesday night when our neighborhood Thai, Italian and Indian joints have all seem to have lost their flair...

For the vital stats on the other 98, check out the full article.
