Mad respect to people who can stop eating when they’re full.
Don’t count me as one of you. I love good food, and I was really happy this week when my favorite magazine, Esquire, named one of my favorite restaurants, Hinoki & The Bird, one of the top 20 new restaurants in the country.
I can’t recommend the place enough. The menu, in which no dish is composed of more than three ingredients. The full-time pastry chef. The tree-house style back patio. I even dated one of the hostesses earlier this year, just to prove my level of commitment.
Check ‘em out. They’re in Century City, two buildings down from Nakatomi Plaza from Die Hard. (Even the address is kickass.)
