Best Restaurants in LA

 

kogi actionIf the U.N. had an office dedicated to world cuisine, the best restaurants in LA would hold permanent seats on the council. Where else in the world can you breakfast on moles de tamarindo in East L.A, lunch on Peruvian wood-fired rotisserie chicken in Koreatown, dine on steamed trout in vegetable plum soup in Thai Town, and nite-cap it off by asking the veteran bartenders at Musso and Frank's to make a dirty martini?
