On average, our LA team visits around 80 restaurants per month. Many of these spots are recent openings we’ve checked out—you can find the most exciting ones on our Hit List—but we also revisit older places as well to check in and try new menu items. Add it all up, and that’s a lot of food. Once in a while, though, we encounter a standout dish (or drink) that we want to tell you about immediately. See these highlights from our recent meals below, and previous months here.
