SEE YOU AT THE L.A. FOOD SHOW

The team behind California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) has opened their second L.A. Food Show in Beverly Hills (the original LAFS is in Manhattan Beach). Touted by many as "CPK without the pizza," LAFS boasts a pretty enormous menu which is a cultural mish-mash. Patrons will find influences from Chinese, Thai, Mexican, American, and Italian cuisines (among others).

I personally have this thing against restaurants belonging to national chains (think Rocksugar in Century City, aka "the Asian Cheesecake Factory, but cooler"), but I'm hoping that LAFS does well. I'm sure it will fulfill the needs of the area's tourist market, and might be a nice respite from BH's pricier set of mediocre offerings. I just hope it lasts longer than Foodcourt L.A. (I make the connection because of the similarities in their names. "Foodcourt L.A." was a horrible name. It brought to mind Chick-Fil-A and Cajun Express situated right beside each other in a busy mall foodcourt. "L.A. Food Show" sounds like a traveling gig for food vendors and buyers; equally idiotic name.)

Best of luck, LAFS!
