Scott & Gina Lee have been my dear friends for many many years. They opened Gina Lee's Bistro, an Asian Fusion restaurant in Redondo Beach, over a decade ago. A while back I offered to help Gina start a blog so on this night I took some photos of the food as it was leaving the kitchen.


For dinner, I enjoyed the Thai Marinated Sea Bass paired brilliantly with a glass of Etude Pinot Gris from Scott's eclectic wine list.


Irene Virbila from the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Everything from Gina Lee's kitchen tastes fresh and vivid. There's also a logic to how flavors are woven together."
I couldn't agree more. The flavors are just so vibrant...



When you are in Southern California, I recommend a visit to Redondo Beach to have dinner at my friends' fabulous and unique restaurant. And be sure to tell them Lori Lynn sent you :)
