Thank god for foodie tourism. During a Summer heatwave, it's an hassle in Mid-Wilshire District, across from The Gove outdoor mall. But, it's them foodie tourists that keep LA's restaurants afloat during a double-whammy, necessary Writers and Actors Strike requesting download residuals from streaming networks.
This might mean that reservations are cancelled and clear for local, national, and international foodie traveling thru LA.
Unfortunately, Netflix Bites Pop-up Restaurant doesn't do weekly breakfasts or lunches.
But, they are open for dinner at 5pm and they do brunch every weekend from 10am to 2pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
For dinner, go all out on Curtis Stone's Whole Dungeness Curry Crab while cooling down with Berry Smash mocktail of Seedlip Garden, Hibiscus, and Blackberry Tea.
This special treat from Netflix really over leaps the Food Network, a pop-up restaurant of a constellation of the world's best celebrity chefs from all sorts of cuisines, ranging from Aussie Curtis Stone to French Dominique Crenn, East-West Fusion Ming Tsai, British-Middle Eastern Nadiya Hussain, Pizza Chef Ann Kim, to and Barbeque Pit-Master, South Carolina's Rodney Scott, (where this scribe is from).
Since reservations are tough to get, this scribe leaps into Curtis Stone's decadent Whole Dungeness Curry Crab, sopping up the crab curry juice broth with a bib and a seafood picker stick while breaking and cracking and sucking out those juicy crab meat.
This orange blossom perfumed is chocolate strudel crumble and chocolate nut pie filling encased in flaky phyllo crust, glazed in honey and dusted in pistachio dust.
For devouring with gusto, the Netflix Bites hostesses gladly personally, and directly booked a next reservation for this scrumptious scribe...for brunch. This scribe was so grateful.
Since brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch and Netflix Bites is all about the best and the rare in a month, this scribe took advantage of Ming Tsai's Lobster Egg Custard topped with cream cheese and sprinkled with Everything Bagel Spices and Lobster chunks.
Surprisingly, Curtis Stone's Aussie-British pastry trolley of sturdy and savory mini meat pies and sturdy and sweet yet so flaky sweet pastries, cakes, and cookies are affordable as they are tasty.
Repeat diners rave about the Blueberry Coffee Cake. The mini Cheddar Beef and Everything Bagel Spiced Chicken Pot Pies are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and sturdy enough to go.
Traditional British Millionaire Shortbread with a Middle Eastern twist, Nadiya Hussain's Cinnamon and Coffee Millionaire Shortbread, delightful for a contemporary Brit afternoon tea.
Desiring even more chocolate, Jacque Torres dominate half the dessert menu. Get his chocolate box to go then store in the fridge then savor.
Be thankful you'll get one reservation before this culinary mirage disappears.
