The Venture Edge

Friday night I was having dinner at a wonderful restaurant in downtown Los Angeles.  It's called Provecho , a modern, upscale Mexican experience, and it was started by a former graduate student of mine and her chef husband.  Now you would think that downtown Los Angeles would be hopping on a Friday night, but no.  You could find more people at upscale restaurants in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on any night of the week than you'll find at the terrific restaurants in downtown Los Angeles.
