The chicken is roasted in a wood-burning oven and served up with fries and rice. The skin's not consistently crispy and the breast tends to run a little dry, but the shack nestled into an awkward corner off of Western has a spicy aji sauce that can cover a multitude of sins. Tom Colicchio’s enduring Century City restaurant Craft bastes jidori chicken with butter and fresh thyme for a classic family-style meal served with roasted root vegetables and sherry sauce. Kismet Rotisserie’s juicy bird with a mild, roasted skin is certainly worth the (admittedly steep) price of admission. From the refreshing shredded carrots with orange and coriander, to the still-crunchy cauliflower in turmeric to the cabbage in yogurt, your supermarket deli case isn’t doing it like this.

22 Landmark Cantonese Restaurants to Savor in Los Angeles

Instead of noodles, they excel in serving a variety of steamed rice platters, steamed Chinese dishes, and traditional Cantonese soups. Their commitment to healthy cooking aligns with the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, ensuring nourishing and wholesome meals. It’s worth noting that the rice platters are freshly steamed upon ordering, so some waiting time should be expected. Nature Pagoda is a tiny mom-and-pop spot that has been around since the ’90s.

The Rex Steakhouse

A busy option in Venice Beach for steak lovers, American Beauty excels because of its menu, ample outdoor seating, casual manner, and striking midcentury space on Rose Avenue. Stop in for cocktails, dry-aged porterhouses, thick grilled bacon, and stuffed hash browns with melted onions and sour cream. Named after the Ol’ 96er from the iconic John Candy film The Great Outdoors, this massive Flannery beef prime rib is smoked tableside and then carved for a table of at least four, and up to six people. It comes with two sides and costs a hefty $249, but that price is pretty similar to other prime rib portions in terms of dollar to weight ratio.

With a bed of egg noodles and a side of always-solid char siu, the siu yuk is one of the better meals to be had in Far East Plaza where the competition is stiff. The carving at this cash-only El Monte joint can be hit or miss, but the meats are always on point. From a properly fired roast duck to gleaming white siu yuk and the lean shoulder cuts of char siu, nearby residents are lucky to have truly excellent Cantonese food at very affordable prices. Chef David LeFevre’s midcentury modern steakhouse uses a white oak grill to deliver outstanding steaks in Manhattan Beach.

Chants of ‘shame on you’ greet guests at White House correspondents’ dinner shadowed by war in Gaza

This modern American restaurant at the classic Mayfair has been completely revamped for a decadent, sleek look just west of Downtown LA. The prime rib here comes off a rotisserie and comes with braised greens and horseradish potato puree for a mere $35 a serving. The Comcast-owned outlet has both pre-dinner and afterparty events planned, as well as live coverage starting at 6 p.m.

With hundreds of protesters rallying against the war in Gaza outside the event and concerns over the conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the perils for journalists covering the conflict, the war hung over this year's event. One organizer complained that the White House Correspondents’ Association — which represents the hundreds of journalists who cover the president — largely has been silent since the first weeks of the war about the killings of Palestinian journalists. One of the region’s most affordable and dependably juicy renditions of pollo a la brasa can be found in this small shack in Long Beach. Its riff on Peruvian chicken soup is a perfect precursor to a feast of tender white meat and french fries. Don’t forget to give it all a once-over with the green aji sauce — El Pollo Imperial’s version has enough kick to avoid being mainstream.

There are many renditions of popular tofu dishes on the menu, like fish and tofu in black bean sauce, and  Cantonese-style soups that can take hours to make, like the crab meat fish maw soup. Seafood is a main draw here, including the salt and pepper shrimp, black bean clams, and salty fish fried rice. Tam’s Noodle House opened during the pandemic selling only frozen Hong Kong-style wontons and dumplings.

Steak & Roasts

Chef Peter Lai offers off-menu dishes for dinner, including the crispy flower chicken and Dungeness crab curry with pan-fried vermicelli. Don’t miss the stir-fried lobster sticky rice, lamb stew, and winter melon soup. Bistro 1968 is considered one of the most expensive dim sum restaurants in Los Angeles, but its specialty items and high quality distinguish it from others.

We live in the neighborhood and I love that they have some Portuguese specials that are yum! Pork alentejana tastes like it came from a Portuguese restaurant. Needle does way more than char siu, but leave it to chef Ryan Wong to go through countless iterations of the Hong Kong favorite. One bite of the Berkshire pork belly with perfect caramelized edges and a chopstick full of small batch jasmine rice says it all — When it comes to char siu, Needle has no credible competitors in the Southland. This Cantonese go-to in the San Gabriel Valley is known for playing the hits, though the crumbly, thinly sliced char siu is definitely not for everyone. The one thing that seems to be on every table is the Hong Kong-style roast duck, with the flavorful, gamey meat subtly scented by notes of anise and five-spice. On the second floor of the towering Intercontinental Hotel in Downtown LA is chef Shin Thompson’s meat emporium serving high-end yakiniku and omakase for Japanese beef aficionados.

As you’d probably expect from the name, this German butcher in Glendale is all about the cured meats. They make their own sausages in-house, from bratwurst and liverwurst to cheddarwurst and bockwurst. They also cured their own bacon, house-ferment sauerkraut, and have all kinds of other smoked, cured, and fresh meats for your Eastern European carnivorous needs. For the holiday season, they’ve got their fresh-baked stollen, which, if you’ve never had it, is the kind of fruit cake you actually want to eat. Head to the top floor of Eataly in Century City Terra and take a moment to observe the sprawling views with a whiff of smoky flavors emanating from the grill.

Every dish comes with Yorkshire pudding plus a choice of sides, though the mashed potatoes and creamed spinach always work best. For those who can’t make it in person, the WHCD will be broadcast live on several outlets and online beginning at 8 p.m. As (probably) the most controversial figure playing the festival this year, Matt Rife at the Hollywood Bowl is likely going to be quite the experience.

Though the beef is choice grade, it’s dry-aged and then cut on premises for maximum flavor. Chicken Dijon doesn’t seem to have any mustard on its menu, but the oddly named South Bay original puts out healthy roast chicken options alongside a signature spicy lemon sauce in addition to a mellow garlic sauce. It’s a solid everyday option that’s affordably priced for South Bay residents lucky to live near one.

It includes ’nduja, duck rillette, porcini salami, duck speck, and much more, along with a ton of Thanksgiving sides and desserts. And don’t worry if the prices feel too good to be true — the char siu boasts candy-like edges and supple meat, while the siu yuk (aided by a little sauce before being crowned with crispy slices of skin) is tender enough. The three-item combo, a $10 blitz of sodium-infused bliss over rice, is an absolute steal.

If you like your comedy with a side of blue, do not even think about sleeping on this Jeselnik show. From “The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson” to Kimmel, “America’s Got Talent” and her newest special, “It’s Wendy,” Liebman’s ability to be consistently hilarious never wavers. Self-deprecating stories said in the sweetest tone and one-liners delivered almost under her breath suck you into her world wondering what she will possibly utter next. You can get in on her comedy stylings yourself at the Hotel Cafe Second Stage.
