"Junkyard Dog, a prominent restaurant in Silver Lake, has closed abruptly, shuttering its location at the former Ma’am Sir/Sunset Sushi building after nine months of business. Junkyard Dog came from the Real Food Daily creator Adaline Hobbs, serving plant-based bowls, salads, and American comfort food in a sports bar-punk dining room starting last October. Hobbs announced in early June that she would depart from Real Food Daily after six years and leave California with her family. Real Food Daily in West Hollywood and Pasadena will continue to operate from Hobbs’ extended family." - Matthew Kang
