We highly recommend loitering at the Brentwood Jon & Vinny's from lunch through dinner on a summer Friday. On one such Friday, we enjoyed three consecutive meals at the place. You never know who you might see (like, Fran Drescher) or or what strain of salt-sprinkled melon might enchant your tongue (like, cantaloupe). While there are many elements of chance at play when you choose to cross Jon & Vinny's threshold, you can be pretty sure that you'll encounter "Chef," or the-woman-the-myth-the-legend Courtney Storer, somehow both all business and all smiles at once. We had the pleasure of making the Jon & Vinny's dish, Spaghetti Basil Tomato, from start to finish under Courtney's wing, and Rachel still whips it up every week, all these months later. While we wait for tomato season's return, you can enjoy this video tutorial al dente.
