Miles Thompson and Lolo Wine Bar alum Andy Schwartz serves the most inventive, memorable and delicious wine bar fare I've ever had in Los Angeles. Back in 2023, the pair originally debuted Baby Bistro as a short-term pop-up inside Koreatown's Hotel Normandie, where it quickly became one of the summer's hottest tables. Now, the pair's ultimate vision has come to life inside the same trendy Victor Heights complex as Perilla LA, Bakers Bench, Heavy Water and Cassell's Hamburgers. The charming indoor atmosphere of the century-old former residence adds a stylish touch to a meal here, but the best seats in the house might actually be on the tiny back patio, where tables overlook a grove of banana trees and the complex's lush garden. For a full meal, the menu is designed to be ordered in its entirety—which costs somewhere between $90 and $100, including supplements—though you can also order just a few for more of a drink and light bites experience. I loved the housemade onion bread, piled high with bright orange Liptauer cheese, and the clever, salt-forward cucumber squid salad, but Thompson lavishes every seasonal dish with the care and attention it deserves.

Bondi facing Democratic calls to testify following report she told Trump she was in Epstein files

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing Democratic calls to testify before Congress following a newspaper's revelation that she told President Donald Trump that his name appeared in the files of the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking investigation. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Bondi told Trump his name was among many high-profile figures mentioned in the files, which the Justice Department this month said it would not be releasing despite a clamor from online sleuths, conspiracy theorists and members of Trump's base. Trump's personal ties to Epstein are well-established and his name is already known to have been included in records related to the wealthy financier, who killed himself in jail in 2019 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. Sen. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, responded to the report by calling on Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee. 'We need to bring Bondi and Patel into the Judiciary Committee to testify about this now,' Schiff said in a video posted on X. The Justice Department declined to comment on the report but issued a joint statement from Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche saying that investigators had reviewed the records and 'nothing in the files warranted further investigation or prosecution.' 'As par of our routine briefing, we made the president aware of the findings,' the statement said. The mere inclusion of a person's name in Epstein's files does not imply wrongdoing and he was known to have been associated with multiple prominent figures, including Trump. Over the years, thousands of pages of records have been released through lawsuits, Epstein's criminal dockets, public disclosures and Freedom of Information Act requests. They include a 2016 deposition in which an accuser recounted she spent several hours with Epstein at Trump's Atlantic City casino but didn't say if she met Trump and did not accuse him of any wrongdoing. Trump has also said he once thought Epstein was a 'terrific guy' but they later had a falling-out. White House spokesman Steven Cheung on Wednesday said the reports were 'nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media.'

Fortescue iron ore shipments rise; scraps US, Aussie green energy projects

(Reuters) -Australia's Fortescue on Thursday posted record fourth-quarter production that helped the miner meet the top end of its full-year guidance, and said it would scrap its U.S. and Australian green energy projects. The Perth-based company said it would not proceed with its Arizona Hydrogen Project in the U.S. and the PEM50 Project in Gladstone, Australia, following a review. It is assessing options to repurpose the land and assets. Fortescue also expects a preliminary pre-tax writedown of about $150 million in its second-half results, linked to spending on the PEM50 Project, electrolyser manufacturing equipment in Gladstone, and engineering costs for the Arizona Hydrogen Project. The company posted quarterly iron ore shipments of 55.2 million metric tons (Mt), up from 53.7 Mt a year earlier and above a Visible Alpha estimate of 52.5 Mt, supported by improved processing of the steel-making commodity. Fortescue, chaired by billionaire founder Andrew Forrest, shipped 198.4 Mt in fiscal 2025 - its best performance in record. Effettua l'accesso per consultare il tuo portafoglio
