Spago is "traditional" fine dining. It's not a MUST, but if you want to try out a long standing LA joint, then you can't go wrong.

Roscoe's isn't the best soul food, but it's pretty good. Gotta get the traditional fried chicken, smothered in onion gravy and some waffles. There are better joints in Inglewood (The Serving Spoon is the best IMO) and Westchester, but I doubt you'll be down in those areas.

Since you're from NYC, you have to go one of our many taco trucks. You can't get that shit out in NYC.

Otherwise, for any other food, what you guys have, we pretty much have as well. Well, our Korean food is still better than yours, unless you travel to/live in Queens, then it's almost just as good ;)
