A Busy German Restaurant Group Goes California Casual in Long Beach | Eater LA

"Coming soon to Bixby Knolls, Wood & Salt is a laid-back California-casual eatery from Bjoern Risse and Bülent Yildirim that is slated to open early next month (expect an early opening on September 9). They've brought on Brian Lavin to oversee a menu focused on housemade pasta using Tehachapi grains and wood-fired bone-in pork chops, chicken, and more; beer and wine will be available at launch with full liquor hoped for later this year. The 4262 Atlantic Avenue space will start with a large open-air patio plus sidewalk and parking-lot seating and will eventually grow to close to 100 seats with bar seating, casual wooden tables, and a dining room wrapped in floral and flamingo wallpaper." - Farley Elliott
