What is your favorite sushi spot in Los Angeles? I adore sushi. I just went last week to Sugarfish. But Sugarfish is the populist version—and delicious version—of Nozawa.

There’s a Thai restaurant in a mini-mall in Los Angeles called Jitlada that was recommended by [restaurant critic] Jonathan Gold, who was the subject of the documentary City of Gold. We did a 10-minute video of us cooking together. He passed away a couple of months ago, too early, but I have good memories there.
