4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: May 3 - Eater LA

"In Southern California, gray May can be one of the most hated and beloved times of the year. Though LA’s overcast skies can burn off slightly in the later hours, the overcast mood sets in for the day, along with local complaints about the pending summertime. One of the many ways to fight LA’s seasonal darkness is to head straight to an LA soul food spot and order something delicious. Gritz N Wafflez chef Jurni Rayne keeps a steady flow of crowds on the weekends. The typically lengthy wait is worth it because the regulars adore her cheesy and savory grits, bacon and cheese-encrusted waffles, and perfect catfish. I appreciate her understanding of when to remove the fried chicken or catfish from the fryer so that both remain perfectly moist. Another idea: order the deep-fried eggs, collard green dip, cinnamon toast, and whatever jumps out to you. Take the items to a park, and watch the sun break through the clouds." - Eater Staff
