Thank you Jaime David from Gilt City- http://www.giltcity.com/ for inviting us to a fabulous evening of champagne and "light bites" at the book party to launch Jill Kargman's new book "Sometimes I Feel Like a nut"
 Ray and I had a great time mingling with Jill and others and observing the blow drys provided by The Dry Bar- a blow-dry bar with four Los Angeles locations.  Love their motto: "get a perfect blow dry and get on with your life"  There was a great turn-out for the event considering it was a down pour in Los Angeles that evening!  Can't wait to read Jill's new book it sounds like comedic reality at its best!  After the book party we enjoyed a relaxing dinner at the W- the end to a wonderful evening!  {visit Gilt City to find out about exclusive events, shopping, dining and destinations}

Supper {at Lou}

724 Vine Street in Hollywood
Lou's Sauteed Scallops with a creme sauce
 of fennel and kalamata olives


A + D Architecture & Design Museum
6032 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles
A few Saturdays past, we spent an evening with a business associate; we started out at a cocktail party for the Souper Green exhibit at The A + D Museum in Los Angeles for a current exhibit featuring the approach to green architecture and the environment.  It was curiously interesting- such talent and genius!  This area is a surround of galleries and museums- the perfect spot to visit!

As the night progressed and we didn't make dinner reservations, we asked the bartender at the gallery for her recommendation. 
She led us to Lou.  Located in Los Angeles on Vine {don't let the small strip mall fool you!} Lou is owned by proprietor Lou Amdur.  Lou is a wine bar serving up to 30 wines by the glass and fabulous "supper"!  Produce is sourced from the local farmer's market and the meats are always organic.  Lou is adjacent to a laundromat, but upon entering, one quickly forgets.  The dramatic floor to ceiling drapes envelop for the perfect dining experience!  One wall dons Scandinavian-style wallpaper and a chalkboard art treatment takes over an entire facing wall, a making for interesting conversation!

We started with a glass of pinot and the mouth-watering cheese & meat platter- domestic artisan meats and cheeses accompanied by buttery olives from Sicily and that famed "Pig Candy"- a sweet and spicy bacon prepared by Lou's own chef.  It's something that I am hooked on!  I {more than} enjoyed the Sauteed Scallops with a fennel and kalamata olive creme sauce while the others in our party feasted on South Texas Antelope and Petite Poussin.  For dessert: Banana Creme Tart with Almond and Chocolate Creme! 

I applaud the chef  at Lou - he is absolutely fabulous!  The manager and staff are awesome- we actually sipped wine closing the place {we were the very last to leave!}  If you are in the Los Angeles area and even if you are not, take a special trip to Lou!- xo
