1 week agoAre LA's Most Hyped Restaurants Worth It?
Hyped Los Angeles restaurants can be either genuinely good or overhyped, with long waits and inconsistent menus undermining the experience.
What happens when Nancy Silverton and Phil Rosenthal open a diner? Evidently, eight-hour-long waits, more celebrity appearances than a Saturday Night Live anniversary episode, and rumors of a secret phone number to get a table. After some anticipation, Max & Helen's opened in November 2025 with a menu meant to pay tribute to longstanding legends like the Palace Diner in Biddeford, Maine.
