Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: December 2 | Eater LA
"Begin the visit by exploring the Skyview motel grounds—park, take a brief golf-cart ride up the hill, and admire the fire pit, the glowing “motel” sign in the pool, and winding paths—then settle into the charming dining room (sometimes with a crooner on the grand piano). Ask the host or server to put in an order for the cast-iron cornbread immediately: it must be enjoyed while hot, its creaminess might be mistaken for being uncooked, and fresh cream and corn drive the consistency. Chef Dustin Badenell’s unexpected, regionally notable menu includes fresh seasonal harvest salads and a flavorful, saucy cavatelli; the cornbread’s fermented hot honey has a slow spiced build, and smoked Maldon salt is credited with why the sweet, salty, and savory flavors blend so beautifully. The reviewer also recommends asking the server to suggest a glass of minerally white wine to pair with the appetizer." - Eater Staff
