I was thrilled when Thedailymeal.Com interviewed me on my top favorite restaurants in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles has a reputation for fantastic weather and an epic spread of land, but rarely do you get to experience the two unadulterated while nursing a cocktail. At the Yamashiro Farmers Market, however, every Thursday atop a  peak in the Hollywood Hills, visitors can take in Los Angeles on a hot night with sweeping views of the sparkling grid, along with a few other California specialties: fresh produce and artisanal prepared foods, plus our greatest export alongside Hollywood — wine.

Set in the parking lot outside Yamashiro, the majestic CalAsian restaurant, patrons can stroll from booth to booth, sampling everything from Nicholas Family Farms’ fresh juices such as mandarin and grapefruit, to buying ripe roses from Eufloria, a sixth-generation flower-farming business. There are also food trucks, Last week was the Cool Haus and Heirloom Catering Trucks. You can purchase your own wine (in moderation, please) from a variety California vineyards (along with some French and Italian pours).

But maybe most popular of all is the Yamashiro Grill stand, which hawks street tacos spilling over with braised short ribs, hoisin duck confit (My Favorite) or miso-sake-marinated black cod, with sides such as wasabi guacamole and ginger salsa.

Yamashiro Farmers Market started back in March 2010 and has been a hit ever since with the locals. So next Thursday evening grab the family and come enjoy the sweeping city views, shop for your weekly produce and grab dinner while enjoying some music! – LA Times

When you first walk into Hatfield’s on any given evening immediately you see a window into every restaurants soul… It’s kitchen. Where every cook is diligently tending to their task. I attended dinner here for Easter Supper and was completely blown away, it was one of the best meals I’ve had in LA since Fig and Olive. Everything we order is an explosion of perfection and excitment. Although this restaurant  can get pricey…It’s worth every penny spent! I opt for their Tasting Menu Starting at $59.00, Perfect for Date night with your Husband. Favorites of mine from their market fresh menu were: The beet and endive salad, The seared diver scallops, and The pan roasted duck breast. Don’t forget to order dessert! – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.

PRESSED JUICERY was born out of the idea that in order to find fulfillment and balance each day, modern people need to be armed with a fresh set of tools that are simple, convenient, and tailored to their hectic schedules. We believe that everyone is entitled to live their best lives, but in order for this to happen, we need to get back to our roots. While the benefits of juicing are endless, we aim to cut through the confusion and condescension of so many health trends and get to the point: our bodies require vital nutrients to function at their optimal levels, and the quickest and most natural way to get them is through fresh juice.

The Ramos House Café is situated in the heart of the Los Rios Historical District in San Juan Capistrano. It is the oldest remaining residential street in California, Los Rios dates back to 1794 when about 40 adobe structures were constructed to house soldiers and workers overseeing construction of the Mission.  The Ramos House, built in 1881, is representative of the board and batten homes built during this time. Originally built by the Aguilar Family, the house was the long time residence of the Ramos Family, one of San Juan Capistrano’s oldest families.

The idea of the Ramos House Café is simple. As in the old days, the owner lives and works at the house. The wines are kept in the cellar, the herbs are grown in the garden and the ice cream is turned out back. The menu is seasonal and can change daily.

The Ramos House specializes in Contemporary American Cuisine with an obvious tilt toward the South.  Current specialties include: Potato, Corn & Buttermilk Crab Cakes w/ Field Greens & Smoked Chili Remoulade; Mac ‘n Cheese w/ Smoked Chicken & Asparagus; Southern Fried Chicken Salad w/ Buttermilk Dressing; Scotch Quail Eggs; and Warm Rock Shrimp Bread Pudding. Dessert selections include Warm Banana Berry Shortcake, Buttermilk Pie and a variety of Home Turned Ice Creams.

On Saturday & Sunday, the Café offers a $35.00 per person brunch that is fantastic! The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday from 8:30AM to 3:00PM. Seating is ONLY outside on the patio, so it is suggested to go on a warm sunny day, If your feeling adventurous they do have plenty of heaters and offer individual blankets.
