6 cutting-edge restaurants in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is no stranger to creativity and innovation—it’s home to Hollywood, the birthplace of the modern supermarket, and where popular fast food chains including In ‘N’ Out got their start. Iconic establishments like Lawry’s, BCD Tofu House, and Grand Central Market have long cemented LA’s position as a global dining destination, and now a new group of restaurants are taking it a step further.
These cutting-edge restaurants are pushing the envelope in terms of sustainability, the combination of new cuisines, and highlighting underrepresented food regions. Echo Park’s Lonely Oyster has dedicated staffers educating diners on oysters and other seafood; Jordan Kahn’s Meteora is showcasing what it dubs ancestral eating; and Yangban Society is combining Jewish and Korean food.
