Although I've lived in quite a few different places -- currently in London -- Los Angeles, where I was born and raised, will always hold a very special place in my heart. Not the LA of Hollywood, but the old-school beach vibe that still lingers in corners. As strange, spread out, and flatly lit as it can sometimes be, Los Angeles, with its bougainvillea, sea breezes, avocados, and eccentric inhabitants, is like no other place in the world and will always be in my soul.
Sooo, I've decided to dedicate a weekly post about places and things to see, do, and eat in LA.
This is MY LA:
For my first LA Blog, i decided to pick out something that everybody loves: a really good reason to get out of bed...Maybe even a baker's dozen reasons...
HUCKLEBERRY opens every morning with just one batch of old-fashioned doughnuts, ready at 8am—and when they're gone, you're out of luck until the next day.
From the husband-wife owners (Zoe and Josh) of the dinner-only Rustic Canyon just up the street, Huckleberry takes the modern-rustic thing into daylight hours, starting with carb-loading for the most important meal of the day—pastries, pancakes and those doughnuts. But they've also got Green Eggs and Ham…and by ham they mean La Quercia Prosciutto, an artisan salumi made of 100 percent Berkshire pork that would have rocked Dr. Seuss' world! And not only that, they have a great sandwich menu at lunch, as well as an early evening menu...all around good ol' fashioned bakery and cafe! Worth a visit.
Side-note/Fun Fact: Zoe learned to bake at Tartine Bakery in San Francisco (one of my faves from my SF days!), and worked in the kitchen at Lupa in NYC and Joe's in Venice
