"I'm excited that Maple Block Meat Co. is ready to open wide at Grand Central Market in Downtown Los Angeles; the formerly Westside-only, award-winning smoked meat operators are now selling from what used to be the Horse Thief patio space at the 106-year-old market, offering ribs, brisket, links, bowls, wings, and other snacks. Co-owners Daniel Weinstock and Mike Garrett, along with pitmaster Rudy Suazo, plan to expand their Culver City menu to include snackier options—particularly for Dodger game days—like hot dogs, loaded brisket fries, and soft pretzels, plus the usual allotment of craft beer and wine." - Farley Elliott
