"This is one of the restaurants that we hit up in Chrissy & Dave and it has now become my favorite restaurant in LA, bar none. I think it's so unique. It is a Jewish deli with a Korean twist—or a Korean restaurant with a Jewish twist, I don't know exactly what the ratio is. I really connected with Kat, one of the head chefs and owners there, because she's also a Korean adoptee. She's doing a lot of the same things that I do in my own work, but with food. This fusion of her identities, you can feel it in the food. The ambiance is amazing. There's a convenience store in the restaurant that sells authentic Korean snacks. Ultimately I go because of the wings. The fried chicken wings there are the best I've ever had in my entire life. It's hard to even explain them, but they're just incredible. Kat also does a great matzo ball soup with a Korean twist that is really fantastic. It sounds wild, but the wings and the matzo ball soup is my ideal meal." - brennan carley
