Cut in London?

The Puck empire expands!  Last night we had dinner at Spago Beverly Hills, (Beet layer cake, chestnut agnolotti – ask them to hold the chicken stock), and the consumate palm-presser, Wolfgang Puck (whom I am convinced has cloned himself because he shows up at every one of his restaurants we eat at) was working the tables.  A few days ago at LAX, I saw him getting off a plane from London so naturally I asked him about his trip.  He replied that he had been in London working out a deal to open a Cut restaurant on Park Lane beside the Dorchester!  He appeared very excited about the prospect.   Great news for London’s carnivores.

Santa Monica

It looks like Fatburger is out, Chipotle is in on the Promenade between Wilshire and Arizona.  And an employee at Veggie Grill in El Segundo told me that they hope to have an outpost in Santa Monica “very soon”.  We’ll be waiting…
