Robby’s - West Hollywood's New Eatery.

 Robby’s - West Hollywood's New Eatery.

(WestHollywoodToday.blogspot CA, January 31 2025) By Karen Ostlund           #RobbysWestHollywood

Restaurant Robby's in West Hollywood changed everything from the previous owner, which was called Hot and Juicy Crawfish, at 7100 Santa Monica Blvd. That concept has now changed to an all American meat-fish-vegan cuisine, with an elegant interior in earthy red-brown colors, with high ceilings.
Favorite classic dishes are Rob's burgers, featuring the 1/2 lbs. Angus chuck burger, Veggie burger or an Ahi tuna burger in all variations, which comes with soup, salad or fries.
                                                                                     

The new team is partner and host Cuban actor Gabriel Rolando Alderete with Chef Robby Christie, who is also a saxophonist and the owner of Robby's West Hollywood, located at 7100 Santa Monica Blvd shopping center, corner la Brea. They were known for 10 years as the owners of Rob's Place in Murphys, Northern California, before they moved to Los Angeles.
A rich pasta and meat dish at Robby’s is Rob’s Carbonara with linguine, sautéed ground beef, chorizo and bacon, onion, garlic, glazed with wine, egg, and red pepper.The Eatery also offers a wide selection of vegan combination platters as;
                                                                         
VEGAN a-la-carte PLATTERS : Tomato-curry-ginger soup with grilled Indian spiced Tofu, caramelized onion, garlic, pistachios and brussel sprouts.

                                                                                  
Tempura Avocado, batter dipped avocado served with basil horse radish and chipotle ranch.

                                                                             
Baked Artichoke and Spinach in creamy parmigiano cheese, with sliced baguette.

                                                                            
Rob's famous flatbread as an appetizer with Tofu or Chicken Romesco, caramelized onions and capers.
                                                                               
Rob's Baked bread pudding with a whiskey butter-cream sauce, topped with vanilla-bean ice cream.

Chef Robby wouldn't let me go, until I tried one of his desserts, and he likes to combine sweet, spicy and savory flavors as in Rob’s Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, with candied bacon in a pistachio chili paste, or a vegan dessert option as Rob's Baked bread pudding with a whiskey-butter-cream sauce, topped with vanilla-bean ice-cream.
Robby's restaurant wines come from Calaveras County California, and two of their favorites are;
Reserve Barbera – Villa Vallecito Vineyards – 2018 – Estate Grown – Sierra Foothills, best paired with meat dishes.
Pinot Grigio – La Folia – Sierra Foothills – 2022 – Estate Grown, which has a rich and fruity flavor, to pair with chicken, tofu or fish.
Robby's Draft beers include, Inclined IPA, Schnugglez Hazy IPA, El Jefe Deel Trigo and Graveity Hill IPA, but also offers a wide variety of bottled beer. 

                                                                     

Robby's West Hollywood interior design.

Every day, HAPPY HOUR, from 4pm to 7pm with half price appetizers and $5 house-wine and $5 bottled beer.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL AND FLOWER SHOP DEBUT FRAGRANCE IN LA.

 CIRQUE DU SOLEIL AND FLOWER SHOP DEBUT  FRAGRANCE IN LOS ANGELES.
By Karen Ostlund

                                                                       

Los Angeles, Dec.7 2024 – (WestHollywoodToday.blogspot)  Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group has partnered with Flower Shop Perfumes Co. to launch l’eau de parfum by Cirque du Soleil ®, the artistic entertainment brand’s first fragrance. (www.parfumcirquedusoleil.com) The perfume campaign was shot in Paris by photographer Elizaveta Porodina, with model Alyda Grace, who is dressed in blue on the poster. The campaign captures the essence of Cirque du Soleil's ethos with unparalleled elegance and sophistication.


The debut fragrance from Cirque du Soleil arrived of the brand’s 40th anniversary, celebrating the entertainment of over 405 million people worldwide, and the expansion of the brand beyond the live stage.
L’eau de parfum was launched here in Los Angeles, December 6 2024 during the KOOZA show in Santa Monica.
                                                                          
“Twenty years ago, my father, Ilia Lekach, wanted to create a Cirque du Soleil fragrance, so for us to be able to bring it to life, is an extraordinary honor,” said Isaac Lekach, co-founder and CEO of Flower Shop Perfumes (photo). “We approached the task to find a perfum scent that reflects on the artistry of Cirque du Soleil, launched during the KOOZA show here in LA". www.flower-shop.co


“In our 40th year in business, we are continuing to evolve beyond our live show offerings and tap into additional creative avenues, which is why we are thrilled to announce this fragrance with Flower Shop. Consumers around the globe can now experience the awe found in our iconic shows and share the joy of Cirque du Soleil every day,” said Eleni Planet, Director of Licensing and Collaborations at Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group.


The glass bottle is crowned with an Art Deco tiered top and a ridged gold stopper featuring a large sun rising above the moon, paying homage to the “circus of the sun.” that com-binds a delicate scent of bergamot, red apple, cotton candy, iris and freesia, buttery popcorn, sandalwood, vanilla bean and caramelized amber.
L’eau de parfum was crafted in partnership with the Swiss fragrance house DSM-Firmenich and its award-winning perfumer Alexis Grugeon, whose creations include those for top brands such as Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors and Amouage as well as celebrities, such as R.E.M. by Ariana Grande, 2021 winner of FiFi Fragrance of the Year-Popular.
                                                                      

KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil: It combines two circus traditions - acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in bold slapstick humor.
It tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world. The Innocent's journey brings him into contact with comic characters such as the King, the Trickster and the Obnoxious Tourist and his Bad Dog.
