When I think of caviar, I think of a luxury product that is very expensive. In fact, it is often well beyond my budget. So, when I have the opportunity to eat caviar at an event, I am never one to shy away from it. But, now, thanks to Imperia Caviar, caviar is something to be enjoyed on a daily basis. The quality, the taste and the value make Imperia Caviar the Please The Palate pick of the week.

Caviar is a very good for you. It is a super-food. It is a source of vitamins and minerals, including Omega 3, vitamins A, E and B6, Iron, Magnesium and Selenium. Caviar is good for our minds and it is also an aphrodisiac. With all of these health benefits, we should be eating caviar every day. And Imperia Caviar is making that possible.

Imperia Caviar was founded by Sony Mordechai in 2018 with the goal of making caviar feel less like a splurge and more like an everyday delight. The caviar comes from sustainable, eco-friendly sturgeon farms and it is made by hand to ensure the best quality. The sturgeon are grown in a nearly wild environment and rely on the purity of fresh water. There are no preservatives and no hormones used.

From morning to night, Bar Avalon in Echo Park is the place to be. Located in the Mohawk Collective development on Sunset Boulevard, Bar Avalon is a casual neighborhood restaurant where you can start your day with coffee and end your day with wine. Bar Avalon is located inside a brick building with floor to ceiling glass walls. Inside the space is has high barn-wood ceilings which make the space seem larger than it is. Exposed brick walls and leather booths warm the space. The open kitchen offers seating so that you can watch the cooks work. You can also sit at the bar that is cleanly decorated with wine bottles. There is also an outside patio where one can dine and also where you will find planters with herbs that the kitchen uses. All in all, it is a cool east-side space.
I have been traveling so much over the past few months that I feel like I have been out of touch with the Los Angeles restaurant scene. When my friend mentioned that we would head to Yapa after our tour of Lost Spirits Distillery the other night, I was excited to try somewhere new but knew nothing about the restaurant. I was feeling disconnected until I realized that Yapa only opened a couple weeks ago! Instead of being late to the game, I am on time! Yapa is located in Little Tokyo, just on the the border of Skid Row. Also known as Skid Row-kyo, this is where Little Tokyo, the Artist District and Skid Row converge. Yapa took over the space that was previously Seoul Sausage and is the project of Josh Goldman and Richie Lopez.
