Cost of living’s a lot more reasonable in LA, wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of SF’s staff decided to move given the chance.
I’m not sure the business model would work if they had to airfreight the live seafood.
yes the potato is different. sf also has scallops, swordfish, quail, and heirloom tomatoes. la has banana pancakes and caviar.

SF has had caviar with banana pancakes. LA has had heirloom tomatoes and swordfish (both seasonal).
word on the street is that Angler LA is hiring for a bunch of FOH and BOH positions. Not sure what that’s all about.
Hmm.
i’m guessing it’s not normal to have 12 openings at once?

The executive chef and sous chef openings suggest maybe the chef left for some new gig and a bunch of his crew followed.

From my friends that work there it seems they’ve always been understaffed but also if they are trying to open another Angler (seattle?) soon they may be staffing up so they can train replacements or find people willing to relocate? I find it odd such high positions would be left before the next michelin guide comes out, I prob would have waited so that I could say I helped earn the star.

Not going to be the last.
Especially those who can’t easily switch to takeout or delivery
I predict all restaurants will be closed within a week. France just closed all its restaurants.

Fantastic. Angler was one of my last big meals out in the before times and I still haven’t forgotten that banana pancake.

As expected from the staffing call: they’re starting patio dining next Friday. Not sure where the patio will be though.
