The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: September 8 | Eater LA

"Chef Joshua Whigham’s new Los Feliz restaurant channels his Bazaar by José Andrés background, weaving Spanish sensibilities through California ingredients. The menu revolves around coca, a puffy-crusted Catalan flatbread topped in combinations like broccoli rabe with garlic oil or lardons with passionfruit, while shareable plates include sweet, ripe local tomatoes with tuna conserva, white beans in a pomodorini tomato sauce, and gambas al ajillo. Tucked under Messhall Kitchen at the top of Los Feliz Boulevard, it’s the kind of place where you should save room for a slice of Helen’s cheesecake, a secret family recipe that takes days to prepare." - Eater Staff
