At The Market In Woodland Hills And A Little Uchi In LA - Here’s What’s Popping Up

November 22, 2023
Austin-based restaurant group Hai Hospitality will open Uchi LA in West Hollywood on  Thursday, Dec. 7 - its first West Coast concept - a nontraditional take on Japanese cuisine, signature tastings, sushi, a seasonal omakase, tempura featuring rotating vegetables from the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market, served with black vinegar chili crunch and green Szechuan peppercorns; pan-seared Hotate scallops finished with a vermouth foam, strawberry black garlic xo sauce, citrus and Thai basil buds; and a full Toyosu fish list at the sushi bar with special pieces like Kaluga caviar topped with creme fraiche, chives and crispy shallots. 

The hidden Italian steakhouse and jazz bar at The Georgian Hotel has launched a family-friendly supper series. Spaghetti Sundays take place every Sunday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., complete with red-checkered tablecloths and an abundance of parmesan. Executive Chef David Almany has a prix fixe menu including house-made garlic bread, Caesar salad, spaghetti and red sauce, and a choice of Grandpa Tony’s meatballs, chicken or eggplant parmesan, branzino, and the signature New York strip steak. Dessert selections include chocolate chip cookies or a brownie topped with vanilla soft-serve. For the adults, wine director Kristin Olszewski has selected three by-the-glass red and white wines to pair with the Italian dishes.

And if you happen to visit from Friday, Dec. 8, through Sunday, Dec. 10, Decades by Cameron Silver, will be hosting a pop-up at The Georgian. The retail collaboration will showcase 100 years of style, with a curated collection of vintage and contemporary pieces. Labels such as Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Valentino and YSL will be available, in addition to pieces from female-founded sustainable contemporary brands ReWeave and Angel Chang. Established in 1997, Decades is a vintage retail store and world leader in the sale of vintage, neo-vintage and contemporary designer clothing. 

There is a new style of market coming to Woodland Hills, on Saturday, Dec. 30, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Our Story Is will host a free farmers market called, “At the Market,” quarterly. All RSVP’d market-goers receive 100% organic and fresh produce, straight from the farm. It’s part of Our Story Is’ mission to maintain an integral environment to help fight food insecurity, where every booth has a “transactional” component, without any monetary transaction. This allows market-goers to pick their own produce and place their own orders. Hot and cold foods will be sponsored by food and beverage companies including, Western Bagel Encino and Woodland Hills, Topo Chico, and Ubatuba Acai Woodland Hills. Entertainment will be provided by local DJ, KG Superstar.

“Our Story Is” aims to fill in the stop gap between the wealthy and impoverished, with a mission to fill in the gaps before people hit the poverty level.

“At the Market” is located on a street closure at Califa Street, between Owensmouth Avenue and Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Woodland Hills. For registration (donations are welcome) and information, visit www.ourstoryis.com.
