Grub Street Diet: Casey Wilson

"For dinner, the cast of Black Monday and I go to Majordōmo, the David Chang restaurant. Our crew includes Don Cheadle, Regina Hall, Andrew Rannells and Paul Scheer, Ken Marino, Yassir Lester, my husband, and some others. We have so much fun. We are screaming with laughter. People are annoyed. It is a dream. Don orders for everyone, family style. I eat braised meats, an amazing pitalike bread with a twist on hummus, and one of the best gin-and-tonics I’ve ever had."

"I’m perpetually dehydrated. Nothing does it for me in terms of water appeal. So — it’s a terrible name in these body-positive times — I like something called the Slim Master from Kreation. It’s basically lemonade. I throw a splash of that in my real water. And that helps me drink more of it."

"For lunch, I pick up a salad from MIXT. I do love a salad. My go-to is some version of chicken, avocado, pine nuts, cucumber, and balsamic dressing."

"For dinner, we feed the kids the requisite hot dogs or gluten-free pasta and then we go out to dinner. Mozza has a new outdoor eating area, with beautiful twinkly white lights everywhere. It’s so gorgeous and magical there. It feels very special and very “right” for this unique time of transitioning back to socializing. My entrée is a balsamic steak, which, when ordered at Mozza, is truly one of the greatest meals you can have in Los Angeles."

"We were supposed to go to a Dodgers meal — I mean, game — over the weekend. To get into a hot dog and a soft pretzel is probably my ideal food situation. I’m not so much into the baseball of it all. But that didn’t happen, so I’m feeling kind of sad about it."

"Again, this might be upsetting to some people, but for example, tonight we order from Little Dom’s here in Los Feliz. We order chicken parm, a rice ball, and cacio e pepe. We cover our Parachute duvet in beach towels and eat it all in bed. (Again, we lay out the beach towels! The Parachute does not suffer!) Also, don’t worry, we eat quickly and bring the food right downstairs so the smells don’t engulf our bedroom. Because we’re not monsters."

"To wrap the very long day, I have dinner with my good friend June Diane Raphael. We go to Cara, a new restaurant in Los Feliz in a new boutique hotel with an outdoor-dining area. I love it there! They have a lemon pasta, which is incredible. When I made the New York Times best-sellers list (brag), my husband took me there, so it has a really special place in my heart now."
