The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: June 9
The editors at Eater LA dine out several times a week, if not per day, which means we're always encountering standout dishes that deserve time in the limelight. Here's the very best of everything the team has eaten this week. Vietnamese-style lomo saltado from Nam Kitchen in Gardena Over the past year, I've determined that Nam Kitchen has become the South Bay's best overall casual Vietnamese restaurant thanks to stellar pho and a handful of creative dishes like this Vietnamese-Peruvian fusion lomo saltado. The kitchen takes slightly sweet soy flavors of bo luc lac and tosses them with classic lomo saltado ingredients of red onion, tomato, and French fries, topping them with cilantro and serving with a side of creamy aji verde and a mound of white rice. The tenderloin pieces are as easy to eat as marshmallows, savory and covered with black pepper. Frankly, this could be one of the best lomo saltado preparations anywhere in the city, and it'll be something I crave. Nam Kitchen's other fusion dishes are worth exploring, but even the pho đặc biệt is top-notch, piled high with quality beef and a spice-laden broth. 1530 Artesia Boulevard, Gardena, CA 90248. — Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Steak tacos from MidEast Tacos in Silver Lake Silver Lake is lucky to be the home of MidEast Tacos, an Armenian-Mexican taco restaurant from Mini Kabob's Armen Martirosyan. Operating out of a brick-lined corner space along Sunset Boulevard, right across from the former 99 Cent store, the restaurant serves up toum-topped tacos, crispy potatoes with Aleppo pepper, and burritos stuffed with marinated chicken. But for me, the best way to experience MidEast Tacos is with the simple steak taco, with a corn tortilla instead of the flour tortilla it comes with. The steak is reminiscent of the flavors of Mini Kabob's own beef, with a slightly smoky and well-spiced profile. The meat is chopped to a size reminiscent of a street taco, just large enough to get the entire flavor without it being overwhelming. A size of crispy papas brings the entire meal home, which is best enjoyed at one of the tables on the sidewalk. 3536 W. Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90026. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Spicy salami pie from Little Goat Pizza House in Glendale As a Northeast LA resident who loves grubbing on pizza from the comfort of my home, my options are often limited. Especially when comparing neighborhoods that are flush with celebrated pizza spots, I frequent the same restaurants more often than I care to admit. That doesn't serve my job very well, so after branching out into Glendale, I took home two pies from the Little Goat Pizza House. The results were worthy of a return, particularly the spicy salami pie. Though the margherita was respectable, the combination of the Neapolitan-style crust covered in San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, salami, garlic, tarragon, and a respectable amount of spicy honey made my day. I assumed my patented pizza-consuming position next to the low coffee table, opened the box, and dug in. I was impressed by the consistency of the beautifully leavened sourdough placed in a wood-fired oven. I will happily sit down on-site and consume it hot out of the oven next time. It tasted perfect the following morning for breakfast. 942 N. Brand Boulevard, Glendale, CA, 91202. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Whole grilled branzino from Zinqué in Century City Of all the homegrown restaurants in Los Angeles, I didn't peg stylish French hangout Zinqué to become a fast-growing chain. Armed with key locations in West Hollywood, Downtown, and more recently in Century City, the restaurant has grown to Scottsdale, Westlake Village, and even its spiritual homeland of Paris, France. Given its prime locations, I'm starting to see Zinqué as a viable alternative to places like Cheesecake Factory or Houston's, serving reliable if sometimes predictable food with generous portions. Zinqué's strength isn't in innovation, but rather in serving high-quality ingredients without much fuss. Their charcuterie board is ample and quite good, while their mushroom bucatini could've used a touch more salt. The bistro burger is delightful and satisfying for meat-and-potato types. The whole-grilled branzino gets a gorgeous golden brown interior and a hefty pile of shaved fennel and arugula. For $45, they serve a fish big enough for the table to share. And the branzino was juicy, fresh, and nicely seasoned, the dry-herb chimichurri bringing a vegetal punch when needed. You could see why Zinqué has mass appeal, an easy option for fussy palates and large groups. 10250 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90067. — Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Sign up for our newsletter.

Wendy's Fans Can't Believe the Restaurant Offers This Supersized Option on Menu Items: 'I Want It Soon!'
Wendy's, you've been holding out on us! Leave it to social media to bless us with a tip we would've never found out about on our own. Wendy's fans will be delighted to hear that there's a way to get a family-size portion of some of your favorite menu items from the restaurant. According to food influencer @snackbetch, the burger joint offers buckets of their nuggets, French fries and chili. Related: "Fun Fact: You can order a entire bucket of Wendy's Nuggets, French Fries, and Chili! Check your local restaurant but a ton of locations will do it if you ask for the family size nuggets or fries in the 'family bucket,'" they wrote. Before you rush out to your local Wendy's, it's worth noting that the family bucket option isn't available at every Wendy's. Regardless, fans are still pretty eager to get their hands on a bucket of nuggets, French fries or chili. "If my locations have these, i would totally get them and split it with my little brother," read one comment on Instagram. "Even though Wendys Messed up our orders the other day I'm down😂🔥," another person chimed in. Related: There does seem to be some concern from at least one person about the food in the buckets getting cold. "Hopefully they put a hothands heating packet at the bottom cuz my local Wendy's basically served their biggie bags with cold fries and nuggets," they wrote. Not to get ahead of ourselves here, but we can only imagine how amazing one of Wendy's chili buckets would be on a crisp fall day. But in the meantime, a bucket of French fries will do!

This Is The Key to Cooking Perfect Brussels Sprouts
At CNET, we're pretty big fans of air fryers. While they aren't the best appliance for cooking every vegetable, they make Brussels sprouts perfectly. The dense, flavorful nature of the veggie makes them a perfect match for an air fryer's intense heat. Not only are Brussels healthy, they make an incredibly tasty side, especially when topped with a little balsamic vinegar and other add-ons. Here's everything you need to know about making the tastiest and crispiest Brussels sprouts. For more cooking tips, see the eight foods you should only cook in an air fryer and the trick for perfect air fryer salmon. How to nail air fryer Brussels sprouts Here are a few best practices I use to make every batch of air fryer Brussels sprouts toasty and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Choose the right temperature The best temperature for air fryer Brussels sprouts depends on how you like them. If you're looking for tender, green sprouts with just a little browning, set your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If you, like me, prefer a roasty, toasty, extra-crispy air fryer Brussels sprout, air fry them at 400 degrees F. Oil is a must I don't add oil when air frying frozen, precooked foods like French fries or chicken tenders. However, a little oil is essential to give fresh vegetables a crunchy, browned exterior. You can do this by spritzing the basket with oil, then spritzing the food once you've added it. I prefer to toss my Brussels sprouts with a drizzle of oil in a bowl, along with a little salt and any spices I might be using, before cooking. Give your sprouts some space The trick to successful air frying is arranging the food in a single layer without overcrowding too much. This will allow your air fryer's convection heat to crisp up as much surface area as possible and result in faster cooking. Ingredients for air fryer Brussels sprouts 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts 1-2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and black pepper to taste Look for rich green sprouts and be sure to remove any wilted layers. Alexandra Able/CNET After taking off the ends, make one rough cut down the middle of each sprout. Alexandra Able/CNET Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper before cooking. You can do this inside the air fryer basket to save yourself a dish. Alexandra Able/CNET Don't pile sprouts on top of each other or they won't cook evenly. Alexandra Able/CNET How to make air fryer Brussels sprouts Wash Brussels sprouts and trim away the ends and any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut each sprout in half (you can leave any sprouts that are less than 1 inch wide or so whole). Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (for more gently cooked sprouts) or 400 degrees F (for browned, crispy sprouts). If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat function, run it at the desired temperature for 5 minutes. While the air fryer is preheating, put Brussels sprouts in a medium bowl and toss with olive oil. Add salt and pepper, tossing to coat sprouts evenly. Add Brussels sprouts to the preheated air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes. Shake the basket when time is up, then cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. The total cook time will depend on your air fryer and the size of your sprouts. Poke a sharp knife into the center of a sprout to check for doneness -- the inside should be tender. Serve air fryer Brussels sprouts immediately. If desired, toss with a squeeze of lemon juice, a dash of sriracha and soy sauce, finely grated Parmesan cheese, or balsamic vinegar before serving. A perfectly simple side that takes almost no effort in the air fryer. Alexandra Able/CNET Air fryer Brussels sprouts FAQ What you can serve with air fryer Brussels sprouts Air fryer Brussels sprouts make a super simple side dish for just about any meal. Serve them with a batch of 10-minute air fryer salmon or a juicy air fryer roast chicken with rice or potatoes. They're also tasty alongside a bacon cheeseburger and French fries made in the air fryer. Why did my Brussels sprouts burn in the air fryer? Burnt Brussels sprouts could indicate that the temperature was too high or the cooking time was too long. With air frying, it's important to keep an eye on the food during the second half of cooking. Don't be afraid to check for doneness before time is up to avoid overcooking. If you dislike very dark, crispy Brussels sprouts, remove any loose leaves before cooking so they don't burn before the halved sprouts are done.
