Los Angeles Restaurants — Wine & Dine

Momed is one of my favorite casual spots to hit up. It's tucked away the residential area within Atwater Village. You would really need to want to come here in order to find it. I've had a few items from the countless times I've been here. Here's what I tried that I haven't introduced before.

Blistered cherry tomatoes, black mission figs, garlic aioli, arugula, onions, rolled in house-made lavash. Hearty and definitely amazing. I absolutely loved these momo chips. You get a choice of salad or these chips. I highly recommend the chips... I mean... there's already arugula in the wrap. I loved the black mission figs in this wrap. It added another level of texture and sweetness that complimented this succulent duck.

braised short rib, roasted fingerling potatoes, caramelized onions, applewood smoked cheddar, arugula, 2-sunny organic eggs, ciabatta.

Short ribs were tender. Nothing beats a runny egg yolk with a nice hearty bread to scoop it all up. A great fuel starter before hitting the gym or to recover from a hangover. My stomach is grumbling all over again.

Being in a family of meat eaters, we've never really dined out for Prime Rib. A chophouse is something we are more prone to show up at, but we decided to check out Lawry's for my dad's birthday. You may know them for their seasonings sold in markets, but they actually have a few restaurants dedicated to their classic old fashioned Prime Rib served tableside.

So good, but beware! If you plan to order additional sides with your meal, this will definitely make you full quicker.

An order of Prime Rib comes with a spinning salad as a starter.

Horseradish cream with horseradish on the side if you like more kick.

The Prime Rib silver cart comes rolling by as soon as your plates are cleared. Your server will ask which cut you would like. We all ordered their signature Lawry's cut. They also have a California cut which is slightly smaller and the English cut which is 3 thin sliced (though I saw some having 2, maybe it depends on the size of the roast). There is also 2 sizes over Lawry's cut. The Jim Brady followed by the Bowl Cut. Pick your poison. Basically, pick how long you would like to hibernate for. Each plate comes with a splat of mashed potatoes and gravy with a Yorkshire pudding.

Medium Rare. With Au Jus. I skipped the horseradish cream and went straight for the horseradish. We ordered all the sides. From creamed corn to creamed spinach. A small disclaimer that the spinach has bacon.

Happy Birthday Dad!
