I saw that Infatuation just posted a review of Pijja Palace, dated to this morning: https://www.theinfatuation.com/los-angeles/reviews/pijja-palace
Putting aside the merits of the review (it seems to completely ignore many of the various criticisms of the place and instead just uncritically fawns over a bunch of dishes — the review of the shells and cheese dish seems particularly silly and over-the-top), is this really the best way for a major LA food outlet to spend its time and resources? By spotlighting a two-year old restaurant that maybe has had more media coverage (and positive coverage at that) than any restaurant in LA over that time with the possible exception of Quarter Sheets? And that it does so without providing even a whiff of criticism of the place, so that people can make fully informed decisions on where to go out and eat?
I hope that this is just a minor update of Infatuation’s prior review of Pijja Palace, and not a new review.
