Wolvesmouth Dinner @ The Wolvesden












Last night I dined with the wolves. Twenty people, an NBA player included, were picked at random to experience Chef Craig Thorton’s invitation only dinner party, Wolvesmouth. Apparently it’s rare to receive an invitation through the emailing list on the first try, but it is possible. The 9 course meal is prepped and served in Thorton’s personal loft that is filled with numerous taxidermy and a small, living dog. Food was exceptional tasting and visually stunning, service prompt and impeccable. At the end of the meal, small red Chinese envelopes were given to each guest and you pay what the meal is worth to you.

It was a great experience and I highly recommend trying to get on the list. The dishes change seasonally based on local produce and continue to evolve over time so it is possible to go another time and have a totally different experience than the first.

Saint Motel – Just My Type

Homegrown in sunny Los Angeles and playing Sunday of Coachella, Saint Motel is my current favorite.  They have those dancey Grouplove or Capital Cities vibes that just makes me want to boogie! I hope they have another show in April because I’m afraid their set time at Coachella will be super early, and past track record shows I have a hard time rallying early on Sundays.

What So Not – JAGUAR

I don’t know how this duo slipped under my radar, but at least I found them before Coachella!  Playing Saturday, April 11, What So Not is the collaboration of Aussies Flume & Emoh Instead.  Although lately it seems that Flume hasn’t been touring under the moniker, I’m not missing this set in case there he shows up in April.
