Danish-inspired open-faced sandwiches with seasonal ingredients
"Everything about this gardenesque West Adams cafe is charming and composed, including their Great Dane dog. The Danish-style hot dog comes on a warm, toasted-until-crisp bun that’s carefully topped with tangy neon-yellow remoulade, crunchy fried onions, and pickles so thinly sliced each one curls at the edges. Despite how loaded this dog is, barely anything slips out, except maybe some onion crumbs. Pair it with one of their tart fruit shrubs for the ultimate civilized frankfurter experience." - garrett snyder, sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, andrew ryce
"Open Face Food Shop is a Danish restaurant that’s serious about serving fresh produce. Not only do they grow a bunch of their own vegetables, they also give away free stem cuttings from their herb garden. Run by a husband-and-wife duo, this neighborhood cafe has a short menu—mostly made up of sandwiches, salads, and smoked fish—that leans healthy without compromising on flavor. We're also big fans of their strong coffee, homemade pastries, and shaded patio garden that's usually packed during weekend brunch. After you eat, drop by the owner's home goods shop across the street—they sell everything from fancy jam to high-quality spices." - nikko duren
"I saw that the West Adams restaurant Open Face Food Shop pleaded on social media that the proposed parking requirement would force it to forfeit its al fresco permit, illustrating how the City Council change could imperil small operators that can’t meet the single-space mandate." - Matthew Kang
