"Dressed-down locals, freshly decamped from Teslas and Rovers, eat in their yoga clothes and puffy vests fresh from a class or a hike, or before heading to nearby farmers market . These are foodies for whom heirloom has significance beyond tomatoes. It’s all about the ingredients and familiar preparations. There are shoutouts galore to local farms on the menu, and it’s not just an act (they were among the leaders in the farm-first movement in L.A.), so you’ll get Frog Hollow peach pepperonata with your chicken liver mousse, and Windrose farm kale in your poached (aka Sous vided) chicken salad." - Krista Simmons
