Driving from NorCal to MoVal in May. Any suggested spots on the way to that butthole of California? lol

Haha, good ol MoVal. They have a Portillo's there at least! Get the combo italian beef/italian sausage and if you're feeling dangerous, get the chocolate cake shake too.

On the way? Hit up one of the Portos around LA for the guava cheese pastries and potato balls. Great, now I'm hungry and fiending.

Good List!
I've been to a couple of these places and they do not disappoint.

Let's see if we can get this thread regularly updated

Tried Nightshade LA:
overall fantastic! loved the food and atmosphere but reservations are a bit tricky and the price matches high end and smaller tapa like settings

majordomo:
not super impressed but the food was good. will come back for the large portion dish

The eggslut and Marugame Udon locations at the Beverly Center are your best bets for either of those two without the large crowds that populate Grand Central and Sawtelle

Capitol Seafood Beverly hills is SGV style Chinese in LA just at slightly elevated prices

Best Thai Dessert in LA

Crispy Pork Gang is in the same plaza if you want 24hr Thai food

There is also a Pa Ord Noodle which is good too

 

[pmtotheam]

gf and I ate very well on our trip to LA thanks to this thread

 

[elgrenas]

Taqueria los Guero in Anaheim. Best tacos in the surrounding area

Killer Noodle on Sawtelle is totally worth it, opened about a year and a half ago. Definitely for lovers of spicy, but you can get your ramen with no spice, as well. They have great fried chicken, too.
