Crudo Bar

If there's one thing that makes a diet difficult for me, it's carbs. Breadbar is definitely one of those guilty pleasure places that I'm in love with for the endless varieties of bread. Their standard menu has a lot of tasty treats, but from now until May 15th, they are offering a Crudo Bar menu with Chef Noriyuki Sugie at the Century City location. It's a tapas-izakaya style bar with both a raw bar and a cooked menu. I haven't tried anything in the raw bar yet, but will probably make my back before next week, since my boyfriend is in love with the black cod slider, which are these mini black cod burgers, served individually on a mini cutting board, with an amazing wasabi tartar sauce and mini pickles on the side. We also tried the striped bass karage, which wasn't too exciting to me aside from the yummy tofu dip that tasted like creamy mayonnaise. Visit the site and take a look at the menu or stop by for your own taste.

**I'm going to Pizzeria Mozza tonight for the second time in less than a week. Yum! More on this great new place later!
