Steakhouse or German (preferably Austrian), no other ethnic food of any kind. No more than 15 - 20 minute drive from Culver City. Not crazy expensive (i.e., Cut, Craft, etc.). Then again, I’m thinking the Palm or Lawry’s, so I don’t know.
Do you all find yourselves in this position all the time? Because you’re “the foodie” () ?
If you can convince everyone else, I second Wilshire for this situation. It’s neither a steakhouse nor German, though. It is kind of a decent crowd pleaser.
Coincidentally, Wishire is the site of the shuttered Knoll’s Black Forest Inn which was German and absolutely fucking amazing.
But since we’re on the topic, have you considered Fogo de Chao in Bev. Hills? Or is the Brazilian vibe there too ethnic for her? Come to think of it, there are lots of German descendants in South America…
