The Langham Huntington
Lobster that pairs well with the sauce, but too little variety of flavour overall.

The Eggs Benedict
Eggs Benedict with lobster. A small improvement. Sauce pairs well with the lobster. Overall, though, still too little variety of flavour.
Translated from my German notes.
An earlier visit to the Langham Huntington in Pasadena, on the edge of Los Angeles. On the menu that morning: the luxurious version, Eggs Benedict with lobster.
On the plate
Two poached eggs on lobster meat and spinach, generously covered with hollandaise and chives, with roast potatoes and a grilled tomato on the side. The sauce pairs well with the lobster, and that is the plate’s strongest moment.
Overall, though, there is too little variety of flavour. Lobster alone doesn’t make a special dish if the rest adds nothing. A small improvement on the visit before, nothing more.
And later?
On the next visit in October 2025, the kitchen stepped up considerably with short ribs. You’ll find that entry below.
