los angeles favorites: food (fancier edition)

Obviously, this is somewhat biased, but I really think that Mozza is the best restaurant that I have been to in LA (granted I get treated pretty well since my husband works there) - it's a bold statement, but I'm sticking to it. I've been pretty lucky to eat at a ton of amazing places this year and I also count Animal, Tasting Kitchen and Lou among my favorites.
