my favorite dish @ Cliff’s Edge dinner tonight - burrata with grilled pears, pomegranate vinaigrette & arils and microgreens; loved the contrast of the creamy cheese against crisp, caramelized char of the pears and bright tartness of the pom (which I enjoy even better than the more traditional pairing of tomatoes!)

It’s Coming! LAmag Social Hour at Cliff’s Edge this Wednesday The anticipation is killing us!
We’re just two painfully long days away from our first Los Angeles magazine Social Hour, taking place Wednesday, June 5 at Cliff’s Edge restaurant in Silver Lake. Join our Dine Editor Lesley Bargar Suter and Digest cocktail blogger Caroline On Crack, as well as master mixologist Matt Biancaniello, for an evening of schmoozing, boozing, and snacking.
In response to Caroline’s challenge to local bartenders to bring back the lost art of Filipino cocktails, Biancaniello has pledged to come up with a special Filipino-inspired drink exclusively for the event.
Los Angeles magazine insiders (pssst! That’s you!) can indulge in specially priced craft drinks and bar bites from 7 to 9 p.m. while Biancaniello shows off his high-proof wizardry with a live cocktail demo. Members of Los Angeles magazine’s editorial staff will be on hand to chat about L.A.’s food and bar scene and generally partake in the revelry.
No RSVP is required, but space is limited so arrive early. We hope to see you there. Cheers! Where: Cliff’s Edge, 3626 W. Sunset Blvd., Silver Lake, 323-666-6116 When: Wednesday, June 5 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Community Mixer at Cliff’s Edge in Silver Lake This Weekend
By Christine Chiao
This Saturday, June 1, chef Vartan Abgaryan will help host a mixer at Cliff’s Edge to benefit Micheltorena Street School in Silver Lake. “The restaurant has been open for nine years in Silver Lake. For me, it’s really important to be a part of the community. The school is right down the street from us. When I was approached to be a part of it, my first response was yes,” says Abgaryan. “We’ll be doing a late lunch around 2 p.m. on Saturday. It will be a range of light appetizers just for the community to get together and meet each other.” Each ticket will cover unlimited hor d’oeuvres. The appetizers include charcuterie and cheese platters; marinated beets with goat cheese on rye crisps; kale salad with sweet garlic vinaigrette, pickled raisins, and almonds; potato and goat cheese fritters; steak tartare with fennel salsa verde; and fava bean hummus with romesco, sweet garlic and a side of wafers. “A small portion of the ticket [sales] will cover our food cost. Nothing will go towards labor,” he says. A ticket can be purchased online or at the door for $35. Half of the proceeds from ticket sales will go towards building the school’s computer lab; all proceeds from purchases of beer and wine by the glass will benefit the school.

Tomorrow night at Cliff’s Edge in Silver Lake, chef Vartan Abgaryan continues his weekly collaboration with Matt Biancaniello, the former tender at Library Bar known for his culinary cocktails and obscure or innovative ingredients. So far, the tag-teaming has spawned some very cool recipes, including drinks like a bone marrow fat-washed bourbon with beer air, Pinot Noir, agave, and blood orange juice paired to smoked sweetbreads at the duo’s debut dinner, which replicated a full day’s meals at one dinner (kind of like an edible version of 24).
This Wednesday night’s dinner sounds like a doozy as well, as the partnership plans a $65 prix-fixe menu titled “I’m Game,” featuring wild boar spare ribs served with a rum cocktail bearing white mulberries, wild elder flowers, and sea asparagus, and asparagus in ostrich egg gribiche paired to a mugwort-infused Amontillado with wheat grass infused-Saint Germain foam and blood orange. And what’s that we hear for dessert? Fried grasshoppers with lobster ice cream and coffee stout. Check out the full menu below, with reservations at323-666-6116.
