Jonathan Gold begins this week's review of Octavio Becerra's new Glendale spot: "If you wanted to know why Palate Food + Wine is the restaurant world’s favorite new place to eat in Los Angeles this fall..." There are many reasons (the mackerel is one of them), but mostly because Palate is "intensely personal...you sometimes get the feeling that an evening there is less like going out to dinner than it is like stopping by a friend’s house and having him show you some cool things he just picked up: lamb from the eccentric Sonoma farmer Don Watson; spiced duck cooked in a jar; butter churned from scratch; a one-off wild-boar prosciutto from a California supplier that stank of death in the nicest possible way."
