Also, someone needs to tell this person that SnS is not a Chicago restaurant.

We don't even have one downtown (although I've said for years that it would kill).

ETA: Potbelly is in NYC? I remember when there were just a few locations in Chicago - I always ate at the original.

Cleo in Hollywood: http://www.cleorestaurant.com

Laurel Hardware in West Hollywood (also has a sister restaurant called something like Eveleigh): http://www.laurelhardware.com

Picca in Century City/Beverly Hills (ok, this is sort of westside, but I freaking love this place): http://www.piccaperu.com

Katsu-ya Studio City (not the douchey Philippe Starck-designed concept chain, but one of his original two restaurants before he became trendy): http://www.katsu-yagroup.com/katsuya_studio_city.html

The Hungry Cat in Hollywood: http://thehungrycat.com

I'll let you know if I think of others...

Awesome. Thank you.

I am unaware that this is a thing.

I don't think it is. I just know that the fries are very small and when covered with (faux) cheese it is easier to consume them in bulk with a fork.

Have you tried it the other way?

And you make fun of Denny's?

No, not at all. I wouldn't make fun of Denny's. Just the people who regularly eat there.

And just like that, the NFL season is over for some of us.

eta: False alarm.

That's better, then.

I think many of these might still be a bit of a drive from Studio City, but I have no knowledge of restaurants in the Valley, so I can't really provide alternates.

I saw Stefan in the LAX American terminal Sunday morning. He was not on my plane to Cabo, nor was he, in the moment, being notably douchey.

I organized a girls dinner at LA Farm one night (maybe a year ago?). There were 8 of us sitting around a round table finishing up dinner and Stefan came to sit down with us (of course). He chatted with us for about 15 minutes and in that time started hitting on one of my girlfriends. I'm not sure why she even bothered with him (the lack of any hair, including eyebrows, is rather creepy in person), but she did and by the end of the night they were kissing and he got her number. He didn't comp a thing off our bill or send over desserts or anything, which I think is tacky. She met up with him a couple of times after that, probably because of the celebrity thing, and there's no real story there. But seriously, cutting into girls night to scope out someone and not even doing anything for the table? That's not right. Right?

The food was just ok (I like good food enough not to cut the food for his douchebaggery if it had been good). And the atmosphere is very lawyers lunching (uh, no offence Gattigap). Not romantic -- sort of warehouse with white tablecloths. Although there is a cute patio off the bar area, where a (different) friend has held events somewhat regularly.

You suck as a pimp,.and she sucks as a ho.

Love Strasbourg, spent a week there last year.

For my next trip I'm climbing Everest; anyone have experience/opinions on sherpa groups?
