In 1918, Philippe's fortuitously invented the French Dip in Los Angeles. Or in a totally different year, it happened totally differently at Cole's. What is considerably less in dispute is the origin of the Italian dip. That goes to Pirolo's Panino, a new Italian sandwich shop from James Beard semifinalist Michael Pirolo of Miami's Macchialina. It o...

Here’s an interesting one for always-churning Koreatown: Second Floor Restaurant Bar & Grillhas arrived, offering keenly-priced Italian pastas and wine from, yep, the second story of a strip mall off Vermont Avenue.
