Out of Town

I'm in L.A. until January 5th scouting, eating, and seeing friends and family, so posts will be sparse. I just ate at Tom Colicchio's new L.A. outpost Craft which opened in October. I thought the design was wonderful and aptly matched with the simply prepared cuisine. I gushed most over the old-school Thomas Edison-style lighting (perhaps by School House Electric?) and cool orange matchbooks. Oh, and the food, that wasn't bad either! Bentel & Bentel is the architecture firm behind most of the other Craft restaurants, and by pictures I am assuming they're responsible for the L.A. location too.
