Plugs — Rebekah Peppler

L.A. food and drink recs from a Paris-based author and travel writer + LINKS

Plugs is The Angel’s recs column. Every week, you’ll get six picks—a restaurant, a bar, a shop, an ingredient, a person, and a treat—from someone in Los Angeles who knows what they’re talking about. (Plugs are for paid subscribers of The Angel only. However, if you’re in the restaurant industry and want a free subscription, hit me up. :))

As of today, there’s a new addition to Plugs: links! At the bottom of Plugs, I’ll share a handful of stories from other writers that I enjoyed reading this past week.

Restaurant — Tsubaki

When I lived in L.A., I loved pulling up a solo seat at Tsubaki and placing myself in the magical world of Courtney Kaplan's sake program and Charles Namba's kitchen. I make it a point to go back every trip — if I can't get into the izakaya, find me at their equally dreamy sake bar next door, Ototo.

Behold: the Tsubaki Japanese Caesar.
