"If you’re passionate about eating in Los Angeles, you’ve probably heard about Bavel, the Middle Eastern restaurant from the people behind Bestia. But this massive Arts District spot is more than just the latest place where you’re forced to eat at 5pm (even with a reservation). It’s home to truly fantastic food, including so many different types of bread, you’ll be forced to order all of them just so you can have a March Madness-style bread bracket. Between tough reservations and high prices, this isn’t exactly a casual dinner option. But it is one you’ll look forward to." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
