The best things @jenn_harris_ ate last week (in LA La land and Chicago). And you can read more about the LA spots in this week’s column, up now on @latimes: A feast of #Laotian grilled sausages, chicken and beef with crispy rice salad and papaya salad from @noks_kitchen in #Westminster. The salad is more like broken pieces of tahdig... misshapen rice cakes with a hint of coconut, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. So good! Everything at the new @saffysla but especially the shawarma and Genevieve Gergis’ soft serve 😍 this was pineapple and cherry swirl. Loving the summer Big Stick vibes! Kimchi #pizza from the Vegetarian restaurant @oliviarestaurant.la in #Koreatown. Kimchi + cheese is always a good idea. Always. In Chicago! Pork and pickled cabbage #dumplings from @qxydumplings in #Chinatown. Jenn makes it a point to eat at least one meal in Chinatown (if there is one) in any city she visits. Eclair d’oignon: gruyere mousse, caramelized shallot, mimolette cheese from @theloyalistchicago. And yes, she ordered the burger 👍 Meatballs and the Dante Italian sandwich from @tempestamarket. And she bought a bunch of salami to take home, too. Suuuper decadent baked rigatoni ‘cacio e pepe’ with leeks and salted pepper berries @avecchicago. Excellent fried chicken with a Caesar salad from @roisterchicago #latimesfood
