38 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles for Street Tacos, California Cuisine, and Flawless Omakase | Condé Nast Traveler

"It seems appropriate, perhaps unexpected, that Jordan Kahn's home inventive cooking in LA is tucked in a tiny, almost monastic all-day café. Unlike so many esoteric chef-y menus that leave longing for a slice on the way home, Kahn's layering of texture is as radical and abstract as it is comforting and totally satisfying—and built on the notion of a slow reveal. Chicken confit, for example, looks more like a heap at first glance, until you start digging your way through the heirloom grits and roasted strawberries. Definitely do not miss the Icelandic rye bread with cultured butter and preserves, or the rice porridge dish that's topped with caramelized broccoli, crispy puffed rice, and burnt onion. Trust me, just like the descriptors at a museum, the piece is more beautiful than words can describe." - Celeste Moure
