Nestled inconspicuously on the 10th floor of the Conrad Los Angeles in downtown L.A., famed chef José Andrés opened San Laurel a year ago, showcasing his blend of California and Spanish cuisine. With dramatic views of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and artfully designed within the landscape of The Broad and The Museum of Contemporary Art, San Laurel will introduce Andres’ chef’s table program to the elegant restaurant on Sunday, Oct. 1.With two tables of 10 available, one on the terrace, and one in view of the bustling kitchen helmed by kinetic executive chef Jeffry Chen, the reasonable $150 experience starts with a welcome cocktail, followed by a seven-course tasting menu (wine pairings that include some exceptional Spanish offerings come at an additional cost.)

Heading into a short week, expect coach 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan to throttle back on his use of do-everything running back Christian McCaffrey.McCaffrey rushed for 116 yards on 20 carries with a 14-yard touchdown run in a 30-23 road win over the Los Angeles Rams, piggy-backing off his 152-yard performance against Pittsburgh in Week 1. He also caught three passes for 19 yards.After playing all 57 snaps against the Rams, McCaffrey has been off the field for only 10 plays through two games — having played 58 of 68 snaps against the Steelers in the opener. He leads the NFL with 268 yards rushing and averaging 6.4 yards per carry.Shanahan had some regret about McCaffrey going wire-to-wire against the Rams, with Elijah Mitchell not playing at all after getting 10 snaps against the Steelers. Getting McCaffrey a rushing title isn’t a priority as much as having him upright deep into the season.“We’ve definitely got to get Elijah in there more and do better with our r...Hunter Biden sues IRS over airing his tax information

By Lindsay Whitehurst | Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) — Hunter Biden sued the Internal Revenue Service on Monday, claiming that two agents publicly alleging tax-probe interference wrongly shared his personal information, a case that comes amid escalating legal and political struggles as the 2024 election looms.The agents “targeted and sought to embarrass Mr. Biden” with the sharing of confidential tax information in press interviews and testimony before Congress, the suit said. His lawyers argue that whistleblower protections don’t apply, but a lawyer for one agent said any confidential information released came under whistleblower authorization and called the suit a “frivolous smear.”The lawsuit marks the latest legal pushback from Biden as a long-running federal investigation into him unfolds against a sharply political backdrop. That includes an impeachment inquiry aimed at his father, President Joe Biden, seeking to tie him to his son’s busi...High school band director hit with stun gun, arrested after refusing to end performance
