Chef Ilan Hall’s Sacrilegious Bacon-Wrapped Matzoh Balls 09/06/2010 by Mr. Sato

Food is another passion of ours and we’ve been lucky enough to befriend some of the best chefs in the city. Los Angeles is fast becoming a food capital where renowned chefs come to open shop and call The City of Angels home.

Today, we were fortunate enough to work with our good friend Chef Ilan Hall of The Gorbals LA who cooked up a sacrilegious dish, bacon-wrapped matzoh balls. Despite its complete disrespect for his Jewish background, the dish was the biggest draw at The LA Times Celebration of Food & Wine where over 8,000 guests wined and dined all day.

We love The Gorbals and are proud to call Ilan family.

Be sure to check out his restaurant in the lobby of the old Alexandria Hotel on 5th & Spring in the former banking district downtown where the menu changes daily. It feels just like you were in New York.
