Chi Spacca

In an interview with Thrillist, Bourdain referred to Nancy Silverton’s incredible Italian spot as an “amazing” place which he thoroughly enjoyed. As a self-described “Italian steakhouse on steroids,” it’s obvious which plates demand to be ordered here but don’t overlook the heavenly seafood.

Trejo's Tacos - La Brea

While these might not be the best tacos in town, they manage to create a healthy, locally sourced take on Mexican street food staples without losing flavor. Also, it’s Machete, guys!
