WEEKEND DINING
Went to the new Nobu on La Cienega this weekend for dinner. This is the newest branch of the restaurant chain opened by chef Nobu Matsuhisa. The experience was pretty much the same that I was used to having in the London and Milan locations. Although the food was nice I was hoping for something a little different and less predictable.
I still prefer going to the original Matsuhisa on La Cienega. That place seems to always have such an amazing vibe and mystique about it. The place is nice and dark and you never know who you will see in there.
My most memorable experience there was when the guy next to me gave me a compliment a on my JBK jacket. It’s always nice to get a compliment on our work but this one was special because it came from Karl Lagerfeld. He was nice enough to give us encouragement as new designers and even left us with a little memento to hang in the office.
Sure he spelled Noah’s name wrong but he’s Lagerfeld I wasn’t about to tell him he was wrong.
