Already a chef change at Little Pine

Moby's vegan restaurant in Silver Lake is ready for a vegetable-laced debut tomorrow on Rowena, but already there's been a chef change. Ana Thornton was originally slated to run the kitchen but LA Mag reports that Kristyne Starling (Aventine) will take over the all-day eatery. As for flavors, they'll run the gamut of French, Italian, Spanish, and maybe even a bit of North African.

For great Indian food, there's always Artesia

Did you know that Artesia had a Little India? If you didn't, then you'll have to head over to Chennai Dosa Corner for a primer on Indian street fare. Opened for just four months, LA Times writer Linda Burum checks out the tiny 10-seat spot, which offers dosas drawing inspiration from across southern India.

Pan-Latin in Pico-Union

A new Beverly Hills happy hour worth checking out

Beverly Hills is usually a land where everything is unreasonably expensive. Canon Club now has a $7 happy hour menu from 3 to 7 p.m. on weekdays that could come as relief.
