Better than Pearls!
What is superior to a pearl? Not a diamond (yes, but not what I’m talking about). What is much, much, much better than a pearl? It’s Creator. The oyster.
My latest obsession is raw oysters! I don’t know if they are popular in other places, but there seems to be a trend here in LA - a lovely, brilliant, delicous raw oyster trend. With vinagrette sauce.
In the past few weeks I’ve been to dinner about 4 times at great restaurants and everyone seems to be all over the raw oysters. My favorite are the Kumomoto’s. They are the smallest and taste the best (sweetest). They serve them in the shell on a big dish of ice and I always expect a pearl necklace to be buried just under the surface. (Maybe Thomas will oblige!:) )
For all you adventurers here in LA, my favorite oyster sources:
Wilshire (surprisingly, on Wilshire Blvd)
Craft (Avenue of the Stars)
Shutters (right on the beach at Pico)

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Better than Pearls!, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
