The truffle shuffle

 

Ivy, shmivy: Robertson Boulevard's got cheaper options for those of us who are still one E.R. guest spot away from the big times.

Chaya Brasserie is the Kia Rio owner's alternative to weekend brunch at The Ivy. I headed out with my gf and bf (that's my Godfather and Brendan Fraser) this weekend and pigged out on their sun-tastic outdoor patio. A round of flavored lemonades -- peach, mango and green tea -- was followed by ginormous portions of tuna tartare with avocado, chopped salad with popcorn shrimp and an ahi tuna burger. Yum. Favorite part of the meal: when the couple at the next table sent back their brunch pizza (scrambled eggs on a pizza shell with a drizzling of truffle oil) because it was "too truffle-y." Nice style!

When you're done with brunch, shop at Kitson, hit up Newsroom for a smoothie or wreck your car a la Lindsay Lohan. Maybe that'll make you feel like a star.
