Grub Crawl Sundays are like any other Sundays--lazy, (usually) drenched in sunshine with the work week looming. What's different? The addition of top flight chefs, more food than you know what to do with, and a near heroic amount of booze.
Today, was a Grub Crawl Sunday--and the final day of our LA Grub Crawl in Culver City.
First up was
Father's Office, home of the much talked about Father's Office burger. Yet, somehow, we talked chef Sang Yoon and his team to creating a different, special burger just for us. Know that this is unprecedented. The result? A pork patty with caramelized onions, bacon, and lettuce all on a pretzel roll. Sadly, Yoon isn't adding this to the regular menu, but you can stare at the photo we took all you want.
Next we popped over to Yoon's nearby restaurant,
Lukshon. Even though rice is the focus here, we couldn't get enough of the restaurant's spicy chicken pops. So. Addictive. Then, pizza and amaro at
Sotto. Chefs Zach Pollack and Steve Samson served up some serious pizza Margherita from their wood fired oven. By the way, Sotto's pies cook in about sixty seconds. #NBD
Our crawl ended at
Picca, chef Ricardo Zarate's Peruvian follow-up to the celebrated Mo Chica. There was pisco, crudo, and...beef heart? Trust us, you want to eat chef Zararte's beef heart. Also, those bartenders khow how to shake a cocktail or two (more on that to come).
And just like that, the Bon Appétit LA Grub Crawl was over. Where will the Grub Crawl take us next? No one can say for sure. But know that we'll be there to eat everything and take pictures of it. So long! --Matt Duckor
