The Best Restaurants In East Hollywood - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"For nearly a decade, Sqirl was one of the most talked about restaurants in LA, with lines snaking around the corner full of people waiting to try Instagram-famous dishes like sorrel pesto rice bowls and ricotta toast with jam. These days, the Virgil Village cafe is just as synonymous with jamgate, a 2020 moldy jam scandal that touched on topics of gentrification and recipe credit. Those conversations are still lingering, but if you’re in the area and craving a hearty breakfast or some delicious pastries, Sqirl remains a good bet. Plus, now you don’t have to deal with the lines." - brant cox, cathy park
