We lunched at Lucky Cat Chefs Table thanks to my nephew, Robbie, on a day that was very poignant to us as as Robbie is L.A. based and has been evacuated today from Encino due to the Palisades fire. Our thoughts and prayers to all in LA and an ENORMOUS thank you to Ken and Sean at Lucky Cat for such a wonderful experience. Amazing food - every course an absolute visual and savoury delight ❤️
