I grew up in Washington, D.C., the adopted hometown of Spanish chef José Andrés, where his restaurant Zaytinya, has been a favorite for years. Finally, an outpost has opened here in L.A., where Mediterranean flavors can be found at the new Culver City spot. The venue also features Butterfly, a rooftop bar highlighting Mexican flavors.
