my school-study schedule is taking up almost all of my time; maybe i’d have better luck emailing chef giles and begging for the recipe.

My first bite was like half the mustard and some cabbage, great little clearinghouse moment and a nice interlude after the fennel salad. Potato chunk after onto the beef, onto the pork and ginger, onto the beet break it down!

Yeah it does, clam chowder was my last visits new addition. Wonder how they’re coordinating menus/ingredients with YESS

Also they were PACKED when I went around 11:30 last midweek, great to see, hope word continues traveling

I took a girlfriend out for a belated birthday lunch - this spot worked well as she has an office gig in DTLA. She had the BLT to great delight. I had some kind of salad that was mostly cukes and deseeded peppers. [full disclosure, I thought it would be a different kind of salad, and was disconcerted by what I got.]

I also got the lemonade (delicious), and we shared the matcha canelé, slice of the cherry tart, and the fennel choc chip cookie. The canelé was my favorite, and the cookie suffered from dramatic bad choc chip distribution. My half had almost no chocolate, so it tasted like a slightly sweet piece of bread with fenel. I don’t know what flavors the cookie was intended to have.

All in, before tip it was just under $50. I enjoyed my food, and will go back to explore other items. For anyone trying to picture where this place is, it’s two doors down from Pizzanista and diagonally across the street from Everson Royce Bar.
