"Buona Forchetta’s pizza has been drawing crowds for years, but we’re secretly hoping they bring their Pizza in a Jar with them for the weekend. Because any jar filled with burrata, tomato, and fried dough is a jar we want to get involved with. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"In 1998, Suzanne Dunaway was behind the takeout counter at her wholesale bakery, Buona Forchetta in Los Angeles, when a literary agent walked in to pick up some bread. The agent was a regular customer, and she had an idea. Dunaway’s breads — focaccia, pan rusticos, baguettes — were all made without kneading. The breads were mixed with a lot of water, folded a couple of times, left to rise, then baked. Buona Forchetta, which closed in 2003, was frequently hailed as one of the top bakeries in Los Angeles." - Dayna Evans
