Please look at my side and send me a Mail with your opinion: Do you think a french, provencal restaurant like my SOLEVINO would be successful in LA?

Disagree with the suggestion for Mr. Baguette. What you see in the picture menu is not what you get. I ordered the meat ball sandwich and they only spread a thin layer of the meat ball onto 1/3 of the sandwich. The meat ball portion was so little that it didn't cover the entire surface of half of the sandwich. I felt rip off. Definitely will not come back to Mr. Baguette again, especially there are many other choices within a few blocks away. By the way the Monterey Park location on Atlantic Blvd is the worse, you have to wait more than 15 minutes for your order even though they don't have many customer waiting.

How can you talk about "the toasty ... [tortillas] from Los 5 Puntos, the chile-flavored ones from La Casita Mexicana," both of which are excellent, without even mentioning Babita's best-in-town? I've had none better in California, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas.

Shame on LA Weekly for promoting a restaurant that serves shark fin products. Capital Seafood is helping to devastate our ocean's shark population by selling shark fin soup. Boycott Capital Seafood!

Tacos Don Jorge is definately a place to visit when in the Los Angeles area. They have the best tacos in town, prices are very reasonable, and the sauces are amazing. One of LAs best. www.tacosdonjorge.com

Eva's lechon has the best, I MEAN THE BEST roast pork my family and I have ever tried. This place should be on the top 10 things to eat in L.A before you die...
If not with this article, I would never knew Eva's lechon restaurant.. =) Thank you!

anyway we can get a detailed spread sheet with name of the restaurant and location info, so we can check off these things?

In addition to Zankou, I'd add a Tommy or In N Out Burger, The Smoke House's Garlic Cheese Bread and Skooby's Fries

Any list that does not include Zankou Chicken is flawed in my book.

Tito's Tacos are horrible garbage. That makes this whole list a joke. There is no reason whatsoever to eat anything at Tito's Tacos...

I appreciate the new take on this annual issue... broadening the category from merely 99 restaurants to 99 different dishes (including vegetables at farmer's markets... what a revelation). But there is one entry that Mr. Gold includes every freakin' year that frankly throws off any estimation of his, well, TASTE.
How much is Krua Thai actually paying him? How long has it been since he actually ate there? I tried their pad thai once based on his suggestion paired with a mention they had in the AAA magazine, and I have never had a worse pad thai between here and Chicago! It was a dry, starchy mess with perhaps a teaspoonful of sauce meant to lather an entire plate full of noodles... less sauce, it looked like someone had barely spray-painted an orange pastel on 1 side of each strand, and it would not be going too far to say it tasted like paint... made even less palatable by the sight of the buttcheeks hanging out of the hot pants worn by the strippers getting their carbohydrate fix before a night of strenuous pole dancing down the street.
I can't believe Mr. Gold has eaten at this place in the last 10 years... either that or they stack the deck when he comes and pass him an envelope of cash. Their continued inclusion is inexcusable. Much better is Bua Siam, just two blocks away in a strip mall near Coldwater.

Hello LA Weekly,
Our family owns Tacos Don Jorge at 8693 Venice Blvd. in Los Angeles. We would like to invite the food journalist to try our delicious Mexican Grill. We just added a couple of new menu items that have become very popular. One of them being "El Animal Burrito" almost 2ft long, weights about 3lbs, custom made for just $8. We serve fresh grilled Mexican food that is full of flavor. Come visit us soon,
P.S. Has our restaurant been featured in any story?
Sincerely
Perla

I think the "Pump" part of Pork Pump could be cuz it sounds like its Chinese name: Ti Pang... "Pang" and "Pump" sound the same to a Chinese speaker.

Great list! As far as pupusas, the best I've had were at Restaurant Y Pupuseria La Arca on Figueroa in Highland Park.

could you mark them over some kind of google map so i could see which place is closer to me...and eat it.. ponte las bilas..no te creas puro >

With such a huge Salvadorean community in LA and a popusa spot on almost every block Im astonished, being Salvi, that there is no Salvadorean spot listed.
Great list, but you even managed an Ethiopian spot. There are more Salvadoreans on my block than Ethiopian's in LA

I don't think Park's bbq has LA galbi. But you're better off getting the "wang" (king) kalbi.

Great. Now there's more reasons not to always stay in the restaurants in my region. Can't wait to taste Eva's Lechon. Hope my hear doesn't get too excited, though.

I lived in Glendora for years. The only thing we had to look forward to was the Oak Tree Festival and Strawberry season. I used to eat 4 of those in one day. Back in 88!!! Glendonut!

Well, I know what fois gras is, I know how it's made, and I can still in good conscience eat it and enjoy it.

I love Jonathan Gold to death but this town needs more culinary voices.

Tom Armitage 02/26/2010 9:32:00 AM
Hey, Jonathan. Remember me. Miracle of miracles, I'm still alive snd well in Seattle, playing old-time clawhammer five-string banjo, harvest oysters and digging clams, foraging for wild edibles, connecting with all the organic farmers in East Jefferson County on the Olympic Peninsula, buying more wine than I can possibly drink, cooking like a maniac (by latest passion is making tsukemono), and having fun. t.armitage@comcast.net on the remote chance you're interested.

Re Godmother's Italian sandwiches: the cold cut list sounds tasty, but no authentic hoagie/sub/hero has mayo or mustard on it. That's the sign of an impostor.
-
Sue 02/26/2010 1:03:00 AM
You really need to include Kiss My Bundt Bakery on W. 3rd St. in LA. Best bundt cakes ever - Sprinkles has nothing on them. www.kissmybundt.net

Matt is right about Hawkins. What about GRILLED Dodger Dogs and Busy Bee Sandwich in San Pedro?

Polly, shame on YOU. Learn who Jonathan Gold is before you embarrass yourself by assuming he doesn't know far more about foie gras than you do.

You seriously didn't include Roscoe's??? Are you crazy? And I know it's in big bad scary Watts, but you could have thrown in those monster burgers at Hawkin's House of Burgers, too. But thats forgivable. Not including Roscoe's is completly unforgivable. You have no credibility with me.
-
HT 02/25/2010 11:35:00 PM
foie gras?? you should have titled this "99 things to eat in LA before they are banned in california in 2012 because of health code and animal cruelty concerns."
-
Allan 02/25/2010 11:29:00 PM
Hal's Fries?
-
Polly 02/25/2010 11:19:00 PM
shame on you for listing foie gras as something to eat before you die. learn what it is, how it's made, and then see if you can in good conscience make that statement again.
