- 7. 7 Back to top Press Clips The Essential guide to San Fernando Valley Restaurants February 24, 2016 Crystal Coser and Farley Elliot LA's expansive landscape can be both a blessing and a curse. While its segmented neighborhoods allow for a great diversity of restaurants and vibrant fare, making long treks during peak dinner hours isn't always a viable option. Enter Eater LA's neighborhood guides, handy maps of essential restaurants grouped strictly by neighborhood boundaries. After finding the essential restaurants in Fairfax, Downtown, Silver Lake, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and the South Bay, we now look to the Valley, an area that was once considered somewhat of a dining dessert that actually has a wealth of exceptional ethnic cuisine. We asked Eater LA readers for the restaurants they would recommend in the 818, and curated this handy list of classics and newer favorites, presented in alphabetical order. Looking for more? Check out the forum for more fantastic reader recommendations. 6 Boneyard Bistro More than just another barbecue destination, Boneyard has become one of the Valleys best craft beer and cocktail spots.

- 8. 8 Back to top Rabbit turns up on spring menus March 23, 216 Lisa Jennings Just as the Easter Bunny starts thinking about an appearance, rabbit dishes appear on restaurant menus. Its not really seasonal meat, but rabbit tends to go well with spring vegetables, says Ariane Daguin, c.e.o. of meat supplier DArtagnan. Widely used in Europe, rabbit is still considered a bit exotic in the U.S., though it has grown in popularity steadily over the past three decades that DArtagnan has been in business, Daguin says. In the urban fancy restaurants, and not-so-fancy bistros, its a meat thats growing fast and getting very popular, she adds. Its easy for chefs because its original but also mild tasting, so you can do a lot of different things with it, and its pretty easy to cook. The loin cooks fast, the legs you can do as a stew. The most classic presentation is the French lapin a la moutarde, she says. But it can also be very sophisticated. Daguin notes that New York chef Daniel Boulud once took a bone-in loin of rabbit and Frenched it, as one might do to a rack of lamb, for example. Heres a roundup of rabbit dishes on restaurant menus across the country.

- 12. 12 Back to top Biographies Eric Adler Owner Eric Adlers love for anything Taco-related was confirmed at a young age and grew after each Mexican-inspired family meal. As a native La Jolla resident, Adler was always surrounded by Mexican culture, but his passion to start making his own Tacos began after meeting Chef Luisteen. His Tacos blew Adler away, giving him the motivation to let the world know what Mexican food should really taste like with the right ingredients, preparation and atmosphere. Adlers Masters Degree in Real Estate from the University of San Diego gave him the essential business insights that Puesto needed in order to identify prime locations for each restaurant. Adlers Business Administration degree from Babson also gave him the crucial knowledge necessary to run a successful business. However, Adlers experience at Georgetown while obtaining a Masters in Sports Business with a Hospitality focus was what pushed him into the Hospitality Industry. Throughout his studies, Adler was always fascinated with food culture. His European travel experience let him see into another world of diverse cuisine, making him realize how standard San Diegos food was. He decided to incorporate this new mix of food, experience, design, and people into his Tacos. Adler spent four years at Puesto, and plans to continue even after his goal of the taqueria becoming one of La Jollas signature eateries is satisfied.
