It opened at the height of Hollywood glamour – construction had just begun on the Hollywood Bowl, and the iconic Hollywoodland Sign was erected in 1923. Today, it is the only 24-hour fine-dining establishment in LA; its dining room brims with those leaving work late, partiers and Hollywood executives. The rise of food halls across Southern California have changed how we dine. In 2013, Steve Boggan flew to San Francisco and joined the 21st century’s gold rush in a quest to understand the allure of the metal. Written with Boggan’s characteristic wit and self-effacing charm, "GOLD FEVER" offers unique insight into the history and future of the world’s most seductive metal.
The Night O.J.’s ‘Dream Team’ Celebrated at Georgia
“As he drew forth the yellow lumps from his pockets, and passed them around among the eager crowd, the doubts, which had lingered till now, fled. All admitted they were gold, except one old man, who still persisted they were some Yankee invention, got up to reconcile the people to the change of flag. The excitement produced was intense, and many were soon busy in their hasty preparations for a departure to the mines. In 1848, Mr Sutter built a saw-mill on the south fork of the American River. Those seeking a dining experience reminiscent of the early 20th century certainly won’t be disappointed by Pacific Dining Car. The elegant steakhouse, modeled after a classic railway dining car, has served filet mignons since 1921.
Musso & Frank Grill, Los Angeles
My friend, who devours his share before I finish my second one, loves them and is disappointed that there aren’t more than five to a plate. The sauce is what makes this dish special with its blend of salty and sweet, making it a very addicting combination, but I have to remind myself that there are more plates coming. Build your own means you choose your fish (mahi mahi, Kona kampachi, monchong or salmon), preparation method (sautéed, grilled, tempura or jun), and one of seven sauces.
Langer's Delicatessen
In late 1849, California applied to enter the Union with a constitution that barred the Southern system of racial slavery, provoking a crisis in Congress between proponents of slavery and anti-slavery politicians. Sutter, in fact, had enslaved hundreds of Native Americans and used them as a free source of labor and makeshift militia to defend his territory and expand his empire. On January 24, 1848, James Wilson Marshall, a carpenter originally from New Jersey, found flakes of gold in the American River at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Coloma, California. Los Angeles’s tremendous Chinese food scene keeps getting better, with upscale places like Array 36 and Bistro Na’s serving some of the highest-end Chinese food in the U.S.
For their own protection, the more orderly and well-disposed miners found it necessary, before a proper local government was established, to form associations in their respective neighborhoods, and organize courts for the trial of offenders. In this way, by the prompt punishment of marauders and the expulsion of the violent and dishonest trespassers upon the rights and possessions of others, offenses were diminished and life and property were rendered more secure. But San Francisco was not the only place where miners, traders and adventurers congregated, and with their tents and temporary buildings commenced settlements which soon grew to be populous and thriving towns. Sacramento, Stockton and other places in the gold regions were thus founded, and became centers to which the miners resorted for supplies and “prospectors” for information. When Fremont first raised the flag of independence in California, and thus secured its possession to the United States, there was no town and only a few dwellings on the shores of the magnificent Bay of San Francisco.

At the time, the population of the territory consisted of 6,500 Californios (people of Spanish or Mexican descent); 700 foreigners (primarily Americans); and 150,000 Native Americans (barely half the number that had been there when Spanish settlers arrived in 1769). The South Bay is a massive area incorporating Torrance, Gardena, Carson, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, Hawthorne, Manhattan Beach, San Pedro, and Lomita, among other municipalities. The part of town features beachy vibes and culturally diversity with wide swaths of pure suburbia. Formerly home to three Japanese car companies, the area still hosts a bevy of excellent Japanese restaurants, as well as excellent Korean, Brazilian, and Hawaiian food. Post, izakaya skewers and noodles at Otafuku, or moles and mezcal cocktails at Madre. Since the opening of Church & State more than a decade ago, Downtown’s Arts District has undergone an incredible transformation.
Lynch law, indeed, administered with a rough sort of justice, was the most effectual if not the only protection which these communities could then have. Certain unwritten laws were recognized as the rules for the government of the conduct of all in their relations to each other, and the sure execution of the penalty for a violation of them deterred even the reckless and evil-disposed. And while these eager gold-hunters were busy in the valleys, more ambitious men were “prospecting” in the mountains for the “leads” from which the deposits in the valleys had come.
What life was really like for the miners during the California Gold Rush: An eyewitness account
A company about three quarters of a mile below us have just finished turning the river, and they are now getting out from six to ten pounds of gold per day, but the expenses attending an undertaking of this kind are very great. There is a New York company turning the river at this bar, and when they get their dam finished, I have no doubt they will make a large amount of money. The gold is most abundant in the beds of the river, and when companies succeed in turning the stream, they almost always make fortunes. The place where we now work is called the “Oregon Bar,” from the fact that Oregon miners first found and worked on it. Some days yield much better than others; but none of them yield as abundantly as we expected.
That is an unfortunate figure, but again, it seems negligible when compared with the prices facing shocked gold-seekers as they arrived in the early days of the rush, when almost everything – tools, equipment food, clothing – was in short supply. It’s a miniature pie covered in caramel sauce, a scoop of Lappert’s vanilla-bean ice cream and candied apple-skins sticking out of the top. I sink my fork into the pie, knowing I’m about to make a mess of this well-prepared plate, and watch as the warm filling pours out of its shell and mixes with the caramel and ice cream before scooping it up and into my mouth. On first taste, I immediately understand why so many people wanted this dessert back on the menu, and it’s a bandwagon I am happy to jump on. What you really should be ordering, though, is a dish centered on the restaurant’s theme, such as the Filipino-influenced Plantation Paella with tiger shrimp, clams, chicken, rice and Portuguese sausage, served in a cast iron skillet. It’s not traditional paella I am told, but, instead, it’s how Yamaguchi imagined paella would have been made back in Hawaii’s plantation days.
From bold Sri Lankan flavors at Baja Subs to homey Indonesian cooking at Medan Kitchen and flaky, buttery pastries at Borekas, dining well without having to break the bank is one of LA’s specialties. Eater publishes numerous maps to keep restaurant-goers on top of the latest and greatest in LA. Eater editors constantly traverse the city’s tangle of freeways to make sure that these guides are up-to-date and representative of the city’s geographic and cultural breadth.
The focal point of the restaurant is the large kitchen filled with chefs surrounded by glass. It’s easy to be distracted watching them prepare the food, but, right now, my focus turns to the menu just handed to me. Burger-snobs will tell you that the Apple Pan has one of the best burgers in L.A. In addition to its savory ground-beef, the restaurant is also known for its apple pies. This is a classic diner, with a slightly surly staff, but you’ll look past that the second you gnaw into your steak or hickory burger. Opened by Al Mendelson and Nate Rimer, this classic Jewish deli has been catering to its Beverly Hills clientele since 1945.
