101 Best restaurants of Los Angeles

@latimes

"#21 When David Chang’s first restaurant in California opened in early 2018, it was an event: The globally known chef who’d once famously dismissed the Golden State’s culinary ethos as nothing more than a plate of figs finally joined the conversation. Rhapsodic Changian dishes arrived with him: peppers filled with Tennessee-style sock sausage, blobs of odiferous raclette shaved onto short-rib stew straight from the wheel, enormous smoked ribs rolled out on carts. With executive chef Jude Parra-Sickels at the daily helm, Majordomo has settled comfortably into the firmament of Los Angeles dining. Arguably, the most pleasurable time to eat at the restaurant is during weekend lunch. Daytime light flatters the concrete beauty of the renovated warehouse space; the staff seems more relaxed; the made-to-share entrees are a little more manageable in size and ambition. A dish of skewered ground short-rib meat captures the kitchen’s intuitive synthesis of cuisines at its smartest: The preparation links Korean dduk galbi with Persian kebab traditions. It comes over a bed of lemon rice with kimchi, lettuce wraps and herbs, spiced yogurt, and a riff on the spicy Yemeni green sauce zhoug. Everything meshes sublimely. Full bar. Valet parking. Credit cards accepted."
