My favorite late night place in LA is El Carmen. They have over one hundred tequilas. It is great to sit there and explore the nuances of the different tequila makers. I have this attraction to Anejo’s. It is a good balance of smoke and agave with only a few years of aging.

The chef’s name is Ali. He cooks northern Egyptian style food. His restaurant has 12 seats and he tells you the menu. You choose between normal food (fish, chicken, beef, etc.) or you choose offal. Choose offal, he knows how to cook organs. I remember eating brains, heart, testicles, tongue and lamb cheeks. If you want a unique dining experience, this is the place.

When we were in Tobago, I was able to cook at a small restaurant called Sharon and Phebs on the northwest coast of the island. We ate roti, blood sausage and the freshest fish. We bought the fish from the fisherman in the morning upon their return.
