Fresh Corn Grill - West Hollywood

"With a name better-suited for one of those humiliating LAX kiosks where you buy a $17 dried-out turkey club because it’s the closest thing to your gate and you hate yourself, Fresh Corn Grill could easily have slipped into LA’s infinite health food abyss. But they’ve survived (and thrived) off of good food, a beautiful space, and a wide-ranging menu with everything from pastas to tacos. Also, hidden parking in the back." - Brant Cox

"Your Order: Fresh Corn Grill Salad Whenever we’ve had one too many rich meals, the namesake salad from Fresh Corn Grill is our lifeline. Each of the ingredients in this gathering of vegetables is so fresh and colorful, that by the end of the meal, a glowing halo of health is floating above your head. Asparagus, corn, and zucchini have noticeable char marks and come chopped to the optimal bite-size, then get mixed with avocado, sliced cherry tomatoes, a bitter green mix, and a light vinaigrette. The option to add grilled chicken, salmon, steak, or shrimp is also available—we usually go with the consistently juicy chicken, since it takes on the flavor of the surrounding ingredients. A little-known secret is that this is essentially identical to the “Grilled Vegetable Salad” you’ll find at The Ivy. The Fresh Corn founders got their start cooking there, and brought their cult salad recipe with them." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore, garrett snyder, nikko duren

"Fresh Corn Grill is a West Hollywood staple - and if you think that’s a weird statement to make, you’ve clearly never eaten at this order-at-the-counter spot on Santa Monica Blvd. Come here any night of the week and the lines will be out the door, which means delivery is a far better option when you want one of their salads or excellent hot plates (the shrimp with ginger curry is our favorite) in front of you ASAP." - brant cox, brett keating

"If you want a salad, but your work bff needs pasta, and the whole thing needs to happen quickly, Fresh Corn Grill is where you need to be. Yes, the name is generic, and yes it looks like any order-at-the-counter spot along Santa Monica Boulevard, but Fresh Corn is better than the rest. For the ultimate speed lunch, take advantage of their very efficient takeout situation." - brant cox

"Located on Santa Monica Blvd. in the heart of Weho, Fresh Corn Grill seems like one of those dime-a-dozen, order-at-the-counter healthy food spots you see all over LA. And to some extent, it is. Except for the fact that the food is actually pretty good. And with everything from cajun shrimp pizza to meatloaf, you won’t have to gag down a sad bowl of wet kale either. Lines can get long during peak hours, so call ahead and take advantage of their efficient to-go operation." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
