Enjoy your Tuesday dinner at $35,000+
a head in Beverly Hills. If you have time,
Mr. Pres., explore SoCal culinarily. There's
an Indian place up the street from your shindig
called the Spice Affair. But beware. You don't
need more tsuris. Their chicken tikka masala
is excellent. Or try their saag aloo, potatoes
simmering in a spinach curry. Instead of
checking out prototypes of prejudice, try some
pork or beef enchiladas at El Portal. You can
have two, plus rice and beans for under $15.
Let's see, would you order black beans or frijoles?
That might be a tough choice. Or try camarones
a la diabla. That's shrimp in a spicy red sauce.
Very close to the Mexican place is a Salvadorian
hole-in-the-wall delight. Do you know what
a pupusa is? It's not what you're thinking. If
you've got more time, stop by Saladang. It's close
to Beverly Hills. Have you ever tasted pad thai

Oddly, we (sort of) welcome the Trump administration's legal challenge in hopes that it will clarify not just for state officials, but for the federal government where the lines of responsibility and culpability might lie. We suspect the courts will side with California on most if not all of the legal issues Session's lawsuit raises, and in the process could underscore the reality that California's menu of state and local laws limiting involvement with federal immigration enforcement do not offer anyone anything remotely like sanctuary. —Los Angeles Times, March 7, 2018

That's our fave. BTW, you can have two scoops
of ice cream there. Yes, vanilla, if you don't like
ginger or mint tea. But if you want chocolate sauce,
you'll have to cross the street to Kabuki, where
all the sushi chefs are either Korean or Mexican.
So sue us!
