Taix French Restaurant

“on march 29th, after years of looming threats, which were never quite taken with legitimacy, the city's oldest french restaurant will be closing its doors to make way for an atrocious row of luxury condos. i'm not quite ready to talk about it, but what i can say is that it's time to roll up your sleeves and enjoy your last filthy martinis with a side of peppercorn sauce. la's losing an institution.”

“Impossible to confine the history and je ne sais quoi of Los Angeles' most ensouled restaurant into a RL post so I won't even try. With that said, I recently learned that my grandparents first visited Taix in 1974 when their friend Nicky threw a party for himself there. He had just been drafted for Vietnam and wanted what he thought would be his last meaningful meal on home soil to be their Steak Frites. Thankfully the war ended before he could be sent over, leading to another bountiful (and for obvious reasons poignant) meal in 2026!”
