Oyster in the Foothills


Oyster Shooters at Flintridge Proper

There’s something about prettily plated food that makes me take a pic and share it across the board. It whets your appetite – stomach and eyes – and makes you want to try it after that snapshot. What if you don’t know where that prettily plated food has been conceptualized and designed? Just to make you, yes, whet your appetite and get you to bookmark that restaurant website for more of that prettily plated food.

Well, here is where that delicious piece of dish comes from: It hails from the Foothills in Los Angeles, on a rather small city called La Canada Flintridge. To the north is a magnificent view of the mountains that line up the Foothills. To the east on Foothill Boulevard. Past that and you'll be driving to the end of Foothill till you reach the end of the road, where Hahamongna Watershed Park is located.

This small slice of delicious dish is served at a restaurant called Flintridge Proper in La Canada or simply "The Proper.". If you're driving along 210 E Fwy, you will be exiting Gould, right off the exit, then go left on Foothill Boulevard - 464 Foothill Blvd.La Canada Flintridge, CA 91011. Best to check their hours and so many other delicious plates at theproper.com.
