Los Angeles Restaurant Reviews

Celebrity is big business in Los Angeles, so it's no accident the concept of the celebrity chef—emerging from the kitchen to schmooze with an even more famous clientele—is a key part of the local dining scene. Wolfgang Puck, the city's most illustrious celebrity chef, can still be found exchanging air kisses with Oscar-winning guests at Spago, but a new generation of culinary stars—David Myers (Sona, Comme Ça), Suzanne Goin (Lucques, A.O.C.), Neal Fraser (Grace, BLD), Gino Angelini (Angelini Osteria, La Terza)—have taken center stage and some talented twentysomething understudies are waiting in the wings. Suddenly, transcontinental superstars Mario Batali (Pizzeria Mozza, Osteria Mozza), Tom Colicchio (Craft), and Laurent Tourondel (BLT Steak) are giving L.A.'s dining scene a taste of the Big Apple, while Todd English collaborates with Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria Parker in Latin-theme Beso. San Francisco-based chef Michael Mina arrives on the Sunset Strip with his flashy XIV, and Great Britain's colorful Gordon Ramsay expands his global empire with West Hollywood's Gordon Ramsay at the London. Longtime local favorite Michel Richard has returned to Hollywood with Citrus at Social, and his fellow Washington, D.C., celebrity chef José Andrés shows off contemporary Spanish cuisine at the Bazaar by José Andrés, adjacent to Bevely Hills.
