New landlords can hike the rent, but they can’t kill an L.A. institution—at least not while Marc and Med are around. The duo behind Genghis Cohen (and Dom’s favorite restaurant La Dolce Vita) drop by to explain why they’re uprooting 42-year-old Chinese-American icon Genghis Cohen and hauling its fish-tank, neon, and NYC aura exactly 2 blocks south on Fairfax.

Along the way we get a crash-course in red-sauce minimalism, the lost art of Queens-style egg rolls, and the business math of paying “L.A. landlord prices” without gutting a neighborhood staple. If you care about late-night duck-sauce, community institutions, or how to move a restaurant overnight and reopen for take-out the next morning, this one’s for you.
