"Located inside a garage in Historic Filipinotown, Chainsaw started as an underground dinner party series in 2019 run by the former pastry chef at Here’s Looking At You (RIP) and a sous chef at Providence, but transitioned into a contactless pop-up during quarantine. When I ordered here for the first time, I got their $30 weekend-only “Chainsaw Lunchbox,” which came with a few salads, a dessert, and a pulled pork sandwich that should be on everyone’s LA sandwich priority list. The second time I went, however, I came for their pie, and let me tell you, I’m still not over it. And neither are the friends who had some at the park gathering I brought it to. Trust me, I’m still getting texts about it. - BC" - Brant Cox, Kat Hong, Brett Keating, James Montgomery
