Los Angeles Restos, the Trendsetters

According to this list of 11 dining trends for 2008, Los Angeles way in the game. Gastrobartenders? Check. Small plates and gourmet burgers, trends that won't die? Check and check. Wacky ice cream? Got it. Ethical eating? Oh yeah, but keep those crazy chemicals to yourselves, kids. We're not quite there on head-to-tail eating, but there are certainly enough contenders in that department around town. Throw in a few dessert bars, order and pay by mobile phone, and nutritional info on menus and LA will be ahead of the curve. [Epi-log}
