Spago

In 1982, Wolfgang Puck opened the doors of Spago, his flagship restaurant. The word Spago literally translates as a piece of string or spaghetti. The menu offers a variety of fish and meats with Italian and Asian influences. What Spago does, it does rather well which is likely the reason it has survived for 29 years. Spago has been part of the SH family since day one. The chefs are currently fans of our Maitake and Black Trumpet mushrooms, shown in the photo below. Next time you find yourself wandering around Rodeo Drive and are completely famished after a long day of shopping, roll into Spago for a glass of wine and a bite or two.

The Tasting Kitchen

Today we dropped off a variety of mushrooms to the Tasting Kitchen which is located on the ever busy blvd known as Abbot Kinney. Chef, Casey Lane is currently featuring our porcini and pioppini mushrooms in an off menu dish that combines Wagyu sirloin, black truffle conserva, red onions and bread crumbs. Sounds just wonderful. I need to make a habit of eating before I start doing research on these food blogs because now I'm ready for some grub.

I feel like you can't just write about wonderful food and not post photos to go along with it. So here is another dish on the tasting menu that includes scallops, parsnip puree, chantrelles and maitake mushrooms.
