Fountain Grains & Greens Review: This East Hollywood Salad Bowl Spot Is Anything But Basic | Eater LA

"A tight, mostly takeout operation with an ordering window across from the looming East Hollywood Scientology building, this farmers market–driven spot stands out by channeling chef Aric Attebery’s relationships with local farmers into salads and grain bowls built around produce that truly tastes straight from the market, plus nutty Lopes Family Farms brown rice. Beyond the bowls, there’s long-simmered bone broth, slices of seeded sourdough, and ice-cold Topo Chico. The popular kimchi rice bowl comes crowned with a soft-boiled egg split to reveal its bright orange yolk, with salad greens tossed with fresh herbs and miniature pepino melons, slices of tender chicken thigh, and well‑fermented housemade kimchi that rotates with the produce (like a Weiser farms melon kimchi). The avocado toast in a bowl sets half a perfectly ripe avocado into Coleman Farm greens with a generous scatter of roughly torn Bub & Grandma’s seeded sourdough croutons, all threaded together by an earthy za’atar dressing that coats everything with sesame seeds and sumac. For something sweet, the yogurt and granola pairs a shallow pool of creamy homemade yogurt with honey, spiced nut granola, and a not‑too‑sweet fruit jam made from whatever’s best at the market that week. Most bowls are vegan, and any of them can be customized with a protein like hanger steak, chicken breast, or a soft‑boiled egg." - Rebecca Roland
