"I've found AL’s Place to be a vegetable-focused but omnivorous restaurant that remains lively four years after taking first place in Bon Appétit’s 2015 top ten best new restaurants list; the dinner-only, Michelin-starred establishment is run by Aaron London, who continued his focus on vegetables by sourcing produce from Blue Dane Garden in Grass Valley for dishes like a signature bowl of baby lettuces with herbed avocado and pistachio (diners are encouraged to eat it with their hands), and other favorites such as brine-pickled French fries with smoked apple sauce." - Caleb Pershan
