Tasty Tidbits: Karen Young's Valley Restaurant and Food Round Up

In celebration of the holidays and in keeping with the restaurant’s concept of community building, Hugo’s is partnering with El Nido Family Centers, encouraging diners to make any size donation through December 31. Hugo’s will generously match all donations during this time, dollar for dollar. Diners may charge an amount to a gift card and Hugo’s will convert it to cash. All donations are tax deductible. Hugos is located in Agoura Hills, Studio City and West Hollywood.

Hollywood hip recently arrived in Agoura in the form of The Sunset Room in the space that previous housed Hamburger Hamlet. The 400 seat sophisticated venue with a touch of old Hollywood glamour includes a dining room as well as outdoor cabana seating. The seasonal menu consists of small plates, salads and wood-fired and  grilled entrees. DJs spin music nightly.

Just call Studio City the "land of burgers" as another burger destination joins the meaty fold — enter 25 Degrees, the much talked about restaurant from renown husband and wife team, Tim and Liza Goodell. No word yet on the exact address. 25 Degrees will join Umami, The Counter and the soon-to-open Stout Burger in the East Valley.  25 Degrees has locations in Hollywood, Huntington Beach and Bejing. 

Also in Studio City, Which Wich, a sandwich franchise offering more than 50 different types of sandwiches, is replacing La Salsa in the Trader Joes center.

Cafe Bizou in Sherman Oaks is featuring three course prix fixed menus for lunch ($17) and dinner ($28). Also, through December, buy a $50 in gift certificates and receive a $10 gift card, valid to use in January for dinner.
