Los Angeles dining

Northern Thai Food Club, 5301 Sunset Blvd.  Kao Soi, melon salad, and don’t forget the sour bamboo shoots.  The place has only a few tables.

Old Sasoon Bakery, Pasadena, 1132 North Allen Avenue, mostly Armenian and some Georgian dishes, won’t work on a no-carb diet.

For food, LA is still the best in this country.
