A community of southern California northeast of Beverly Hills. It is mainly residential. Population: 36,600. ). That could be due to its chef, Christopher Ennis, arriving in L.A. with a Florida education and a stop in Colorado, where the slopes and the kitchen battled to be the focus of his talent. After modernizing the menu at Vibrato vi·bra·to n. pl. vi·bra·tos A tremulous or pulsating effect produced in an instrumental or vocal tone by minute and rapid variations in pitch. , Ennis moved to One Sunset, serving high-end but shareable cuisine to a crowd that doesn't think quality food and quality DJs have to be mutually exclusive Adj. 1. mutually exclusive - unable to be both true at the same time contradictory incompatible - not compatible; "incompatible personalities"; "incompatible colors" . Here are a few impressions from Ennis on other restaurants, the beach and where to get a knife. R23, 923 E. Second St., L.A.,: "I like the fact that even though it's pretty traditional, they push a couple new elements. And the sushi is great." Table 8, 7661 Melrose Ave., West Hollywood: "Govind (Armstrong) is a very talented chef. Last time I went there, my party of eight had eight first courses and eight second, and we all ate everything." Sona, 401 N. La Cienega There are at least three places with the name La Cienega (from the Spanish La Ciénaga: swampland, marsh or bog): Melisse, 1104 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica Santa Monica (săn`tə mŏn`ĭkə), city (1990 pop. 86,905), Los Angeles co., S Calif., on Santa Monica Bay; inc. 1886. Tourism and retailing are important, and the city has motion-picture, biotechnology, and software industries. : "That's the closest thing in town you'll find to a true French-influenced style of California cuisine. Josiah Citrin is French but uses elements of growing up in Santa Monica. It's a truly refined dinner." Orris, 2006 Sawtelle Blvd., L.A.: "They don't take reservations, and it's great Japanese food with a small Mediterranean-French influence. You can go in and try a bunch of things even if you're just with one other person." Zuma Ramirez, Malibu: "I love this hidden little spot below Zuma, near El Matador matador In bullfighting, the principal performer, who works the capes and attempts to dispatch the bull with a sword thrust between the shoulder blades. Most of the techniques used by modern matadors were established in the 1910s by Juan Belmonte (b. 1894–d. beach; it's a total private alcove with a little surf break. It's fun to sneak away to catch a few waves." Ross Cutlery, 310 S. Broadway, L.A. "I would also endorse Ross Cutlery. This is the best and most extensive knife store in Los Angeles. The prices are extremely reasonable, and they give discounts to anyone in the industry. I picked up a used Sabatier, a French boning knife, for $4! It would usually cost about $200, and it's my absolutely favorite knife." CAPTION(S): photo Photo: Christopher Ennis |
