Petit Trois, the Best Brunch in LA

We hurried to a dumpy parking lot off Highland and Melrose around 11:30 to make sure we staked out a spot for the noon Saturday opening of Petit Trois since they don’t take reservations.

Right next to Chef Ludo’s many course ‘ticketed’ meal restaurant Trois Mec, the nondescript ghetto looking signage left over from the former … Continue reading Petit Trois, the Best Brunch in LA

Toasting autumn at Riviera 31

Last night I was lucky enough to take part in a tasting of the new fall and winter cocktail menu at Riviera 31, located in the beautiful Hotel Sofitel in Beverly Hills. Inspired by lifestyle icons of the 50’s and 60’s, the cocktails highlighted the talents of resident mixologist (and awesomely named) Ferrari Watts. The drinks came with names like Coco C, Bardot, Deneuve, Grace and Piaf, and covered … Continue reading Toasting autumn at Riviera 31

We were led into a … Continue reading Pop Up Dinner with LA Chef Jennie Trinh
