Meteora

Los Angeles, US

Chef Jordan Kahn’s Meteora is a dialectic, presenting modern experimental cuisine as a vehicle for ancient ingredients and techniques--a fitting sequel to post-modernist Vespertine. The concept is apparent upon arrival when guests step through an oversized bird’s nest framing the door into a sleek room--that feels like a rain forest. Skylights offer some natural sky and tropical flora fill the room and lofty ceiling.

Experimentation is again evident in the modernist plating of dishes offered as a choice of lite fare in the lounge or an extended bite-sized omakase experience. Sourcing involves a lot of heirloom produce and rare grains; preparations look to roots via live fire (both wood and coal), hearth cooking and tabletop roasting over hot stones. The holistic meal offers an immersive voyage into humanity’s past, as well as a look at dining’s future.
