"Your parents are fascinated by everything about Beverly Hills, from walking up and down Rodeo Drive and pointing in every store, to driving past enormous houses with duck ponds and 17 car garages. They’d also happily go to The Farm every night, but that’s where you draw the line. Take them to Si Laa instead. This Thai spot on Robertson is still very Beverly Hills - the dining room is quiet and full of white tablecloths - but in a neighborhood of bad Italian food and fake noses, it’s also one of the least pretentious things you’ll find in the 90210 zip code. Get the crispy duck and the hidden treasure dumplings." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
