There’s lots of sizzle at the Buenos Aires Grill
The lively Northridge restaurant pays homage to Argentina with a freewheeling menu and grill-your-own feasts.
THE throb of tango music, the sizzle of grilling meat, crowded tables groaning under the weight of portable barbecues loaded with short ribs, sausages and yards of skirt steak that drape over the grills’ edges. We’re at Buenos Aires Grill in Northridge, it’s close to 10 p.m. and the place is still rockin’.
Live: Ursula Oppens with the L.A. Philharmonic
The L.A. Phil catches up with Carter and adds new works by Frank and Meltzer.
Elliott Carter finished “Dialogues,” for piano and chamber orchestra, in 2003, shortly before his 95th birthday. This is obviously a late piano concerto. But it doesn’t appear to be a last piano concerto. Carter is busy at work on “Interventions” for piano and orchestra, and he plans to celebrate his 100th birthday on Dec. 11 at Carnegie Hall, when the Boston Symphony is scheduled to give the New York premiere of “Interventions” with Daniel Barenboim as soloist.
T&K Food Mart
Three tasty Vietnamese restaurants at one stop
THE cluster of shopping centers and maddening traffic along Bolsa Avenue — the main drag in Orange County’s Little Saigon — can feel claustrophobic. If you need to break Bolsa’s embrace, pull over and ask the nearest teenager for directions to “The Fast and the Furious” shopping center. He’ll direct you to the pagoda-style plaza that served as a cinematic bad-guy hideout. This is T&K Food Mart , your one-stop Vietnamese eating zone.
