Good Eats
I've never been able to figure out how to take advantage of L.A. Times restaurant critic S. Irene Virbila's star-rating system. Maybe it's because every restaurant she reviews gets the same one star-- "Good." In S. Irene's opinion, there just aren't many "very good," "excellent" or "outstanding" restaurants. But nothing's "poor" either. Everything's just....good.
Perhaps it's time to break down the "Good" one-star into a variety of sub-categories, just to mix it up.
But S. Irene, you're forgiven this week. The Sunday Times magazine's Restaurant Guide is the most thorough I've ever seen the paper do. It's a keeper. A list of 300 restaurants, a focus on new joints to check out and a feature on Musso & Frank's highlight the package.
