We can't all be vegans, right? Some of us still appreciate meat. That's why this shot of some tempting ribs by neonspecs from our LAist Featured Photos Pool makes the perfect bite for our Eye Nosh series. Our foodie photographer explains where this plate came from:

oh man. so good. but the best part was the little salad on the side. At Chinois on Main as part of the DineLA Restaurant Week(s), we ordered the Barbecued Baby Pork Ribs with Sweet and Sour Teriyaki Sauce as one of our appetizers. Super delicious, but could have been more tender.

Chinois on Main is one of Wolfgang Puck's eateries, and a grande dame (25 years old!) considering the usual lifespan of a well-regarded restaurant in this town is closer to that of a starlet's career. LAist hit up DineLA hard this year, too, and had lots of tales to tell.Keep submitting your photos of your meals to our pool!
