"Chifa serves as the backdrop for a pivotal dining scene in the series. Here, we meet Tallulah's love interest, chef Tessa, and also see Charlie try to redeem his reputation in the gay community with a server whom he perceives to be queer. It culminates with a classic Charlie one-liner: "I don't want him talking shit at Akbar about how we don't like his food.""
"On Maia's birthday night, she and Tallulah end up in line at throwback Silver Lake nightlife destination Tenants of the Trees, a controversial bar and live music venue that had its heyday in the 2010s. ("Everybody here is, like, 19," Maia gripes when they arrive.) She later suggests they move on to Bar Seco, saying to Tallulah, who wants to go dancing, "There's like standing with music, no one really dances in LA.""
"Charlie wears a lot of his life philosophy on his sleeve, with outfits that harken to iconic Cher tweets and some of his favorite haunts in town. Jumbo's Clown Room, the best bikini bar in Los Angeles (if not the country), makes the cut on one of his trucker hats. The towering columns, high ceiling, and grand red-tinted dining room of Mother Wolf act as Evan Funke's ode to Rome."
Chifa provides the setting where Tallulah meets chef Tessa and Charlie seeks to repair his reputation in the gay community, culminating in a quip about Akbar. On Maia's birthday, Maia and Tallulah stand in line at Tenants of the Trees, a throwback Silver Lake venue, and later consider Bar Seco for standing music and dancing. Charlie's wardrobe references Cher tweets and local spots, including a trucker hat for Jumbo's Clown Room. Mother Wolf evokes Rome with Roman pastas, formal service, and rare Italian wines, and becomes the site of a power lunch interrupted by Maia and Tallulah. An East Hollywood pink café hosts the escalation of Tallulah's stolen Balenciaga incident, and Santo opened sister restaurant Seco in Silver Lake.
