In which we highlight the past week in food, either at home or abroad.
- "Whatever the current style in Los Angeles restaurants ends up being named, all of it -- from the small-plate thing to the fixation on local, organic produce; the off-center proteins to the international palette of flavors; and the resistance to even modest customer requests -- may have its origins in the cheeseburger conspiracies of Father's Office tsar Sang Yoon." First Bite: Son of a Gun, or What Would You Want To Change Anyway?
