Now , from the west to the east , if you're heading downtown , make plans to visit the Disney Music Center , not for the music , but the food you'll get to taste . The very fine cuisine of super chef Ray Garcia and his stunning restaurant Astrid . There's so much that I love about cooking .
It's Californian , it's uniquely Angelino with influences from all around the country . Sustainability is a huge part of , you know , my cooking philosophy and not only just for our own health , but the health of the planet Astrid has such an amazing backdrop , you know , being here in downtown , at the heart of all these , you know , amazing cultural institutions , the Music Center ek the Broad Museum . It , it's just a beautiful backdrop for us .
And you know , that's why whatever we're sourcing , we carefully choose our , our partners and our ingredients . Astrid is a bit more of a reconnection into my uh professional upgrade and , and growth . So it's , it's hyper seasonal .
Welcome back to L A unscripted and our super chef special now L A really has become quite the foodie town . You name the cuisine and we got it including this Ethiopian restaurant with a James beard nominee at the helm . So everybody sits around , nobody puts food in their mouth .
Is a great neighborhood bistro . It's Parisian style cuisine conveyed through California produce . And we're here in Southern California .
