‘Tidying Up With Marie Kondo’

“Top Chef” finalist Shirley Chung brings some of her winning creations — think spiced pastrami and scallion pancake sandwiches or cheeseburger potstickers with tomato bacon jam — to Culver City’s Ms Chi Cafe, a progressive Chinese restaurant that also has a more traditional side, with northern-style dumplings, crispy chicken, garlic shrimp, noodle bowls and fried rice. For dessert, try a hedgehog bao with salted molten dark chocolate. Breakfast brings sausage wontons and tea eggs. 3829 Main St., Culver City

Three years after her book became a huge best-seller, Japanese organizing expert Marie Kondo comes to Netflix with a six-part series explaining her calm and focused approach to getting rid of all the clutter that weighs down a typical household. Families learn to enlist kids in putting things away, while couples thank their seldom-worn clothes and send them packing. Worth watching for Kondo’s folding technique alone, it could end up transforming the dynamics of an entire household.
