"While West Hollywood may be better known for its bars than its restaurants, Ladyhawk from Top Chef Middle East winner Charbel Hayek is making a case for the city. The restaurant, located in the upscale Kimpton La Peer Hotel, serves a menu that leans into Hayek’s Lebanese roots with a full mezze spread available with Lebanese olives, falafel, hummus, and more. Start by splitting the mezze before moving on to the shawarma skirt steak, seared halloumi, and za’atar man’oushe." - Rebecca Roland
