Jonathan Gold's 99 Essential L.A. Restaurantsnew
If there were such a thing as a Los Angeles cuisine, I suspect it would be like what they serve at Houston's, which is to say a market-tested version of the grill-happy, salad-intensive cooking pioneered decades ago at places like the original Spago.
