Hollywood - Susan Feniger's Street

LA is a fun place to live. Being able to go to the restaurant owned by a prestige contestant after watching a few episodes of Top Chef Master is both fun and special. How often do you get to do that with your favorite show!?

Street's crew were attentive, friendly and entertaining. Curry flavored corn snack (on the house), citrus refreshment and poured Hong Kong milk tea were served in no time.

Above, BABY BEETS AND LOLA ROSSA aged sherry vinegar and grain mustard vinaigrette - 5. The sweet and tangy salad brought up the appetite in a good way.

BROILED SCALLOPS ON THE HALFSHELL with Peruvian aji amarillo cream, chorizo breadcrumbs, lime and fresh picked cilantro - 12. The combination of these wonderful bites were memorable and left me wishing for more though the serving size were perfect for two people.

BABY BACK RIBS in spicy Korean miso glaze with scallion ginger cream - 14. There was no Asian cow. What I am trying is say is that I did not taste the Korean miso nor the scallion and ginger in the cream. That said, the short rib was cooked to perfection and will sure be well qualified as “comfort food” for the most part.

TATSUTAGE FRIED CHICKEN marinated with soy, mirin, and sake crispy fried in rice batter and topped with spicy kewpie mayonnaise sauce - 15. First, you bite into the hot oil fried crispy and tender chicken with the rich spicy kewpie mayo. Then have a slurp of the cold sweet and savory soba. Then add a little spicy and sour from the kimchi. Heavenly!

Just as I have portraited Susan Feniger in my head, her food is just like her personality. She wants you to have a full belly with the generous portion and if you had brought some friends to share, you should have the big smile like hers when you walk out the Street. You will not need Susan there to confirm it.
