A New Altadena Restaurant Called Deodara’s Will Focus on Pizza and Wine - Eater LA

"Altadena is readying itself for a brand new all-day restaurant called Deodara’s, featuring coffee, pizza, natural wine, and a whole lot more. Better still: the neighborhood restaurant is being run by a local. Kevin Hockin, who has previously founded places like Collage Coffee in Highland Park and worked with ownership to open Burgerlords, is keen to make Deodara’s a special kind of local hangout. Not only is Hockin himself an Altadena resident, the name of the restaurant itself is a nod to the many local deodar cedar trees, including those found along iconic Christmas Tree Lane." - Farley Elliott
