Fancy for my fancy mama!  The Bazaar has some of the most theatrical food ever.  Since opening it seems like The Bazaar has become the molecular gastronomy go-to in Los Angeles with their rotating list of semi-celebrity sous chefs (they all seem to have been on Top Chef) and of course, Jose Andres.  The decor is dizzyingly impressive, if not a little cold but that might just be a things of personal taste.  I like to feel cuddled by restaurant ambiance.

I think Doc wanted to take my mom here to remind her of their recent trip to Spain and in particular, their visit to Arzak in San Sebastian (ahem…upon my recommendation).  I thought the idea was very sweet.

The meal, like the decor, was impressive but it’s hard to separate taste from the general showmanship, but maybe that’s the point.  A memorable meal.
