New York's Acclaimed Superiority Burger Is Coming to LA for One Day Only
One of New York's buzziest restaurants, Superiority Burger, is headed to Los Angeles for a one-day-only pop-up at Chi Spacca in Hancock Park on Sunday, June 8. Founded by Brooks Headley in 2023, Superiority Burger grew a cult following for its inventive lacto-ovo-vegetarian menu and a burger that Cate Blanchett once referred to as 'the thinking man's burger.' The walk-in-only pop-up will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., but expect a line well before doors open. Although a full menu hasn't been announced yet, the Instagram flyer says that lunch-goers should expect Superiority Burger classics and farmers market specials. Pizza and aperitivo in Echo Park Echo Park's former wine bar Tilda is flipping into Bar Bacetti. The sister bar to Italian restaurant Bacetti will serve aperitivi and pizza just in time for summer. An opening date for the bar hasn't been announced yet, but the team is targeting sometime in June. Is the best steak in America in Los Angeles? Jeff Gordinier pens a piece for Esquire about Dunsmoor's 32-ounce steak, which comes in at $149. The story dives into the steak's sourcing from Black Angus cattle in Iowa, and traces how it rose from $89 (which lost the restaurant money), to its current price point. Currently, the steak, crusted in hand-ground spices, is the largest revenue stream at the restaurant. Sunday dinner at La Dolce Vita Beverly Hills restaurant La Dolce Vita is launching a new Sunday-only dinner menu on June 8. Expect dishes like fennel risotto arancini and linguine ai frutti di mare with mussels, lasagna, and cheesecake. Book a table on Resy. Ari Kolender at Bar Le Cote Ari Kolender, the chef behind Found Oyster and Queen Street, is headed to Bar Le Cote in Los Olivos for a stop on his book tour and a collaborative dinner. On June 25, Kolender and Bar Le Cote chef Brad Matthews will cook a seafood-focused dinner together. Signed copies of Kolender's new cookbook, How to Cook the Finest Things in the Sea , will also be available to buy. Kuya Lord turns three Kuya Lord is throwing a party for its third birthday on June 8.

Feature: ‘Crumb,' by Dan Nadel
How fortunate that my first parasocial relationship, as they're now called, was with a genius. I encountered Robert Crumb's work at the age of 8 or 9, when his comics could be found — lurking and sweating — in the 'Counterculture' section of my local used-book store in San Francisco. Frightening stuff for a kid. Titillating, too. But 'Counterculture' was crammed with scary and spicy material. Only Crumb's work, specifically the autobiographical comics, wormed under my skin. The worming occurred, I understood much later, because of the material's intimacy. Few artists have the technical ability, desire, intellect and courage (or berserk compulsion) to render their souls legible on a page — not to mention their kinks, agonies, protruding Adam's apple and sub-ramrod posture. What I was sensing in my bookstore adventures with Crumb was an early glimmer of what it might mean to truly know a person, with all the joy and terror that such knowing entails. It hardly mattered that I would never meet the man. Except, 30 years later, I did. One morning in April an elegant figure in a fedora strolled up Avenue A in the East Village. He was instantly recognizable for his spidery hands and Coke-bottle glasses. With him was the author and curator Dan Nadel, who has written 'Crumb: A Cartoonist's Life,' a superb biography of an artist who, starting in the 1960s, changed the shape of comics in every decade that followed. Nothing escaped the penetrating eye of Crumb, whose work took on liberal hypocrisy, sexual and racial violence, Christianity, drugs, the C.I.A., existential distress, love, consumerism and death. To help promote the book Crumb had flown over from France, where he has lived since 1991 in a house that his late wife, the influential artist Aline Kominsky-Crumb, found for the family. We met at the restaurant Superiority Burger, where the artist and his biographer slouched in a red booth and deplored the state of modern pants. Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
