"Leimert Park’s subtle yet dazzling 5 Star Kitchen is one of Los Angeles’s best hidden gems. This is the spot for a thick burger tucked into a buttery bun, deep-fried tacos, salmon salad, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, french toast, wings, shrimp and grits, and a signature dish called “chili soul cake” made with cornbread, beef chili, onions, and sour cream." - Mona Holmes
