"Destroyer doesn’t have the stuffy opulence of some of the other high-end spots on this list, and that’s a good thing. Because this Culver City standout impresses simply by being different. Located in the tech-heavy neighborhood of Hayden Tract, this order-at-the-counter spot feels like you’re eating breakfast in the future, where menus are projected on the wall and your raw oatmeal comes topped with a disk of dehydrated vanilla. It’s a strange place, but the food is fantastic, and your tech buddy will definitely think you’re cooler for suggesting it." - Jess Basser Sanders, Brant Cox, Nikko Duren
