Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: February 12 | Eater LA

"I don’t usually order soups while dining out, but with the chilly weather I sought out two over lunch at Havlabar Cuisine in Glendale. The wood-paneled, windowless Georgian spot smelled strongly of cigarette smoke on arrival, which made me rethink my plans, but I’m glad I endured it because the cooking was great: hearty khinkali dumplings and grilled khachapuri oozing with sulguni cheese, plus a duo of superb soups. The kharcho — beef, rice, and fresh herbs in a tomato broth — arrived scorchingly hot in a clay bowl and warmed our spirits with each slurp, and the chakapuli (listed as an entree) featured a white wine broth brimming with lamb and tarragon that was a delight, with warm, crusty Georgian bread ideal for dipping." - Eater Staff
