Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: February 10 | Eater LA

"Mona Holmes (editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest) highlights chef John Cleveland’s buttermilk biscuits as essential: they’re served with a generous side of whipped honey butter and "will gain immediate approval from any auntie or grandmother — even the ones who swear hers are the best." On one visit a table of ten descended on a platter so quickly she was left with "a crumbled half biscuit that remains my favorite in all of Los Angeles." The buttermilk waffle with fried chicken is also praised. Beyond the food, the Baldwin Hills restaurant is described as a community hub where separate tables often merge into one as longtime friends arrive and many are celebrating "a birthday, anniversary, or any life event." The restaurant is scheduled to close on February 27, a fact underscored as part of why the impending loss is "a big one for LA" and a reason to visit while it remains open." - Eater Staff
