Privy 5 Los Angeles Kevin Hsu
Founder of kevineats.com
Despite being raised on a steady diet of McD's and Taco Bell in his younger years, Kevin Hsu still managed to develop an appreciation for all things gastronomic. After shedding his culinarily-sheltered childhood during his tenure at Berkeley, the Southern California native quickly began devouring all that he could get his paws on, and started kevinEats.com as a way to document and share his eating adventures. Today, the blog is one of the most widely read, and reviled, restaurant blogs in the Southland, focusing on the top spots in LA, and all over the country. You'll definitely want to read on for the Kevin Hsu Privy 5.

218 N Rodeo Drive Los Angeles CA 90210+1 (310) 247-8939"The food here is as pleasing to the eye as it is on the belly. Taking pride in the appearance of the dishes isn’t the be all and end all of the chef’s ambitions as the food is delicious. Fusion features on the menu, with foie gras shabu shabu just one example among many. The hot pot stuff can be avoided if you don’t want to cook your own food.

465 S La Cienega Blvd SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills Los Angeles CA 90048(310) 246-5567"It’s as much a restaurant as a bar, so what better way to celebrate an entire evening (for whatever occasion) at one venue? You can enjoy traditional tapas dishes and fusion sushi and various other tasty morsels. If you prefer, you can have a sit down meal in an environment that’s as classy as a modern art gallery (a tasteful one that no one would be offended by).
