The Best Places To Eat When You’re Merging Friend Groups

"Garlic & Chives is a modern Vietnamese restaurant in Little Saigon and home to some of our favorite - and the most inventive - food in the area. No matter what day of the week you come here, you’ll find a lively atmosphere and a bunch of other tables also trying to merge their respective friend groups. It’s hard to order poorly at Garlic & Chives, but let’s just say if you don’t get the pomelo salad, shaken beef, and whole roasted garlic crab for the table, you’ve done your friends a greater disservice than making them sit a table with somebody who’s currently trying to message them on a dating app." - brant cox
