      Brentwood is getting a refined Persian dining destination. Perse translates centuries of Iranian culinary heritage into a fine-dining experience on San Vicente Blvd. The menu reads beautifully, from sour-marinated Torsh Filet Chenjeh with smoked basmati and tahdig to slow-simmered Fesenjoon and Japanese A5 Wagyu Kabob. Cocktails lean into the tradition with pomegranate, saffron, and rosewater.

      From the Motor City to the Angel City. Detroit Pizza Depot, founded by three Michigan transplants, is expanding from its Hollywood flagship to a new Inglewood kitchen on Crenshaw Blvd. The style traces back to 1940s Detroit autoworkers who used factory oil pans to bake what became the city's signature square pizza: crispy caramelized cheese edges, dense but light enough to eat with your hands. Build your own or go specialty, then wash it down with a Faygo.
