"Nancy Silverton hasn’t opened a new restaurant since 2013 when she debuted Chi Spacca in the former pizza school space on the corner of Melrose and Highland in Mid-Wilshire. Now she’s ready to open the Barish, coming from her maternal grandmother’s name and taking inspiration from the family’s farm in Saskatchewan, Canada. Opening this Wednesday inside the former Public Kitchen space, the Barish will serve a truncated menu on the hotel’s outdoor areas until indoor dining is allowed again." - Matthew Kang
