DISTRICT February 16 2012
In the spirit of great local food, let me introduce you to DISTRICT, located at the edge of Little Tokyo.
We were invited there last night for a meeting about the Rick & Ray operation. It started in the front of DISTRICT - the lounge area, if you will, where the menu includes burgers, skewers, tacos, etc.
After conversing about who we are and what we do, Jason - the owner - revealed that the back of the restaurant actually serves Korean BBQ. I’m not gonna lie; Wella and I were pretty excited about this. Wella, because as I’ve mentioned in the past, is obsessed with all things Korean. And me, well I’m just obsessed with food. Jason wanted us to check out the patio, fully equipped with grills and heaters, and have dinner. So we made our way.
That’s Jason.
...and Maria and Mike. Everyone was saying that Maria is the Latina version of me. She rocks with Universal Music, Carbon (Culver City), and a new publication called “Arte”. She even works with Jason on bookings. How’s that for a full plate? (Ok, so maybe she is like me.) Mike is her husband; he’s a DJ, photographer, curator, and last night, he was a life coach.
Now, the food. The meat is good, the sides are good, they use lettuce wraps instead of rice paper, they serve mushrooms with their short ribs, it’s outside so you don’t end up smelling like food, I can keep going. I’m in DTLA most of the week as is my team. We’re all stoked that there’s finally a Korean BBQ joint in the neighborhood. And a good one, at that.
