We need to hear from you.
Today during our spring member drive, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. The local news you read here every day is crafted for you, but right now, we need your help to keep it going. In these uncertain times, your support is even more important. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership. Thank you.

The Tim Burton Retrospective is drawing crowds to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and savvy attendees will be sure to time their visit with room for a drink and some eats at Ray's and Stark Bar, the patio-style bar and restaurant that have recently opened up at the venue.Having already created a delicious cocktail, the Dr. Burton, that plays on the cineaste's affinity for Dr. Pepper (it's made with DonQ white rum with Amaretto, Cheery Heering and Amaro CioCiara), two Burton-approved dishes have gone on the dining room menu, and can be served up by request: Razor clams in squid olive broth with polenta island, burned octopus, fresh herbs, and piqulo peppers ($16) and white rabbit with tea in a mushroom forest ($27).

The dishes, and the drink, are available until the exhibit closes, October 31, 2011.
