Smogen Appetizers — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Saw this place on TV show called. California Cooking. Had to try it out. Kind of funky thinking sushi on bagels, but, WOW was it good. This place isn’t close to us but glad we took a side trip on the way to Calistoga. Definitely will go again and again. Have to try the decadent lobster and caviar bagel the couple next to us were eating. Only draw back was there was a line to get in. Waiting for about 30 minutes but was worth the wait. Awesome idea.
