NYT: Los Angeles: City of Breakfast

New Yorkers only care about celebrity status.

I wasn’t going to even read the fucking ridiculous article, but it’s literally a jocular PR listing with some celebrities tossed in LMAO

Knead & Co. just opened…and if you show up for that egg raviolo, they will tell you they aren’t serving them yet.

And do people eat breakfast at Jon & Vinny’s, or are they just purely doing PR? lmao Every time I’ve eaten breakfast there I’ve literally been the only non-staff person in the restaurant. I imagine they are hoping to change that.

The hilarity of the PR at work makes the “article” literally read like a piece from The Onion…holy shit…

The only realtalk was the Zach Brooks quote at the end which parodied the inane absurdity of the entire article…idk if intentional, or the NYT people really have their heads that far up their asses…

My breakfast consists of locally sourced (by me) bananas from Trader Joes and coffee. If I’m feeling adventurous, I get their multigrain frozen waffles and almond butter.

I find the food there to be bad to average, thus don’t get the popularity of the place.

Unless it’s early bird, I’ve soured on going out for breakfast. Especially on the weekend. I feels like a non-event that trips up the day. I’d much rather have a simple breakfast then have a good lunch.

That said, any recommendations for chilaquiles? I’ve been wanting to go out to La Casita Mexicana for a while but haven’t made the trek yet. I saw someone mention Taqueria Los Anaya in the Best Mexican in LA thread. Also looked back and found @TonyC’s pic from Loteria in the Jan Weekend Rundown thread that looked goooood. Haven’t tried Trois Familia, largely due to my said recent sourness for breakfast/brunch events.

city of breakfast?

if by breakfast you mean Rocio’s chilaquiles with Oaxaqueno mole, and a brown bagged tall boy of Modelo at 10am… Yah, I eat the hell out of breakfast.

i wouldn’t know anything about anything on that NYT list cept sqirl jams are sexy.

edit: @President_Mochi jinx.

Los Anaya is very good. Lots of people, me included loved the chilaquiles at the now defunct Pepy’s in Mar Vista. Luckily the cooks were all hired at Coppelia’s further east on Venice, in the same center as Sofra and the halal market. They now also offer a green chile version that I like.

One caveat, I haven’t gone in a few months and apparently the restaurant side owner left. Not sure if that will affect the quality of the food.

Gonna have to be more specific lol

Preach. Three times I’ve gone. Basically, burnt toast with jam on it. Aside from the unremarkable “South African” pastry and the special featuring some sort of unchewable dried beef that I was served, it is basically burnt toast with jam. Or really runny ricotta. It’s perfect for millennials and those that love them. Cute social media presence. Located in an overpriced, but ruddy neighborhood. And inoffensive food. I’m sure they are perfectly nice people, but I do not get the love at all.

You went three times, and every time you just ordered the same burnt toast with jam?

I mean, you’re free to not like it but, maybe you should’ve at least tried some of their actual plates?

Like, if anyone can tell me where to get cheddar jalapeno biscuits topped with chorizo verde gravy other than Sqirl, I’d be happy to hear about it.

Not opened-face like the Sqirl creation, but Division 3 makes a pretty damn tasty chorizo biscuit sandwich, the cured salmon biscuit sandwich I personally like better, however.

And since I know you’re not allergic to Whittier, Glassel Park should be no problem for you.

what does this even mean? or should someone just get off your lawn already?

again, what does this mean? is there a neighborhood in la that ISN’T overpriced? what’s a ruddy
neighborhood? one’s that’s been dusted during the Holi festival?

you don’t like the food, i get it, but wtf.

stop taking the internet so seriously

Yeah, I need to go hit up My Taco anyway, <3 the tip. Guess they just got featured in that Eater breakfast sandwhich list too. Practically can’t fail to be better than Eggslut I imagine…lol

seriously stop the internet taking.

[sarcasm]I think he means le proles still inhabit the place. It’s obviously quite offensive to have those of the lower class mixing in with those of the upper class; what a disgusting little street Virgil is; it’s not like the real rich even go there, obviously those with real wealth, and proper class never venture outside of the confines of Beverly Hills, the sort of nice neighborhood where a place like Sqirl ought to be.
