My favorite restaurant in the world was Angeli Caffe on Melrose and Poinsettia in Hollywood. It closed earlier this year after being open since 1984. The owner is a locally famous chef and radio show host named Evan Kleiman. That was really sad. I actually was on the phone with Evan personally when she fit me in for my final Thursday (was a tradition to go on Thursdays) with my favorite waiter in the world, David, working.
