Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

Restaurants I've recently eaten at and loved in greater Los Angeles:

-The Kitchen, Silver Lake: their chicken pot pie is sublime. US Southern cooking done unpretentiously for hipsters and friends.
-Pete's Cafe & Bar, Downtown: good burgers, good fries, good winelist, and open late late late.
-Spark Woodfire Grill, Studio City: lasagna done in an open-hearth oven? Oh hell yes.
-Senor Fish, Eagle Rock: hands-down the BEST fish tacos in the city. Their scallop taco is awe-inspiring.
