LA Restaurants Try to Draw New Diners With Separate Outdoor Menus | Eater LA

"Launched mid-October in the parking lot adjacent to All Day Baby, this weekend-only, charming al fresco operation was created out of necessity by Lien Ta and partners and features an 11-item menu from All Day Baby chef Jonathan Whitener with every dish priced under $27; it runs with a deliberately limited staff (Ta plus two servers and a bartender) who must use a crosswalk and take extra safety precautions, and despite the logistical challenges I find producing Helluva Time dinners a joyful way to introduce regular guests to something different while appealing to a new neighborhood crowd." - Mona Holmes
