la.eater.com – David Zhao/Chubby Curry – Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: January 8

“Wagyu burger at Chubby Curry in Beverly Hills.
The server kept recommending the burger at Beverly Hills’s new Chubby Curry, a restaurant that might fit better in the SGV or Koreatown than the tony 90210 zip code.

la.eater.com – David Zhao/Mikiya Shabu House – For all-you-can-eat Japanese A5 wagyu: Mikiya Shabu House

“Chubby Restaurant Group has plans for total U.S. domination in the high-end hotpot market using a membership model that offers a discount to those willing to shell out $28 a year. The memberships ensure that a regular group of diners will indulge in unlimited Japanese A5 wagyu or other high-end cuts from Australia or the U.S. It’s unclear how the business works profit-wise, but the chain is rapidly expanding to Houston, New York City, Boston, and Santa Clara. Prices for non-members range from $45 to $98 and include a choice of two broths, like sukiyaki or konbu, and a parade of fatty, tender, wagyu slices. — Matthew Kang, lead editor”
