The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: July 28 | Eater LA

"The latest installment of Kato’s Summer Series, a dinner collaboration series bringing chefs from across Los Angeles to the Row DTLA, welcomed Evan Funke. On Sunday night, Funke could be spotted in the corner of the spacious tasting menu restaurant, clad in a denim shirt and apron, rolling out sheets of pasta by hand. Each dish channeled a bit of Funke and Yao: think chile crisp-topped burrata and tomatoes; cacio e pepe tossed with zingy Taiwanese pepper. The xiao long bao tortelloni stood out among the other dishes for its carefully folded edges, holding in a rich broth; its thin and slightly chewy outer layer; and its pouch filled with pork and prawn. There was only one in the dish, but I would have been happy if the entire meal had been just a steamer full of these. It’s nice to see a fine dining restaurant let loose a little at collaborations, with hip-hop blaring over the speakers and menus that read like a chef’s fever dream." - Eater Staff
