Meteora

Los Angeles, US

Chef Jordan Kahn’s Meteora presents modern experimental cuisine as a vehicle for ancient ingredients and techniques – a fitting sequel to post-modernist Vespertine. The concept is clear on arrival when guests step through a sculptural ‘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 hang from the lofty ceiling. Experimentation is again evident in the modernist plating of dishes offered as a choice of light fare in the lounge or as an extended bite-sized omakase experience. Beautiful compositions including eggs, Indonesian cinnamon beignets, caviar sourdough pancakes or Job’s tears – a nutty grain – with cachucha pepper confit and smoked almond cream. Sourcing involves a lot of heirloom produce and rare grains, while 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.
