In the April 2006 issue of Food & Wine magazine, Kate Krader outlines a week-long road trip she did around southern California, starting in LA, through Santa Barbara, with a quickie side trip to San Diego. While she does dine at some top-notch spots like Spago and Providence in Los Angeles, it's not all about high-end dining. A recap of her whirlwind food and wine tour through La La Land:
- An LA institution, Pacific Dining Car (that just went to 24-hours), for dry aged beef
- Norman's on Sunset for their Friday night whole roast pig
- The Regent Beverly Wilshire's new restaurant, The Blvd
- Providence for fish, obviously
- Dinner at Sona
- Late night at the Hungry Cat in Hollywood
- Old school Greenblatt's Deli that has a remarkable wine list
- Sushi at Shibucho, where Bordeaux and Burgundies are better than sake and beer
- Silverlake Wine for the Monday night tasting event
- The Lodge Steakhouse
- Spago, which she says is her favorite place
