Since the closure of Red Medicine, many of us FTCers have wondered what happened to Chef Jordan Kahn. Well, he’s back, and now serving breakfast and lunch fare at Destroyer. Housed in a cool new space in Culver City just off the Expo Line, locals have definitely already discovered this hotspot, which opened very quietly a week ago. We came here for a nice little breakfast, and Destroyer delivered.
Organic hen egg, crispy potato, mushroom… The dill and radishes are subtle additions to the wonderful aroma of the soft egg and mushroom. Arrange all the characters here in a mini-ensemble on your fork or spoon, and take the bite - You’ll see how it all fits together.
Oh, and don’t bother going to the ATM. This place does not accept any cash - credit card only.
RECOMMENDED.

Terrific report, I live a stones throw from there and have been waiting for it to open. The space looks beautiful, thank you for the interior shots. And that food looks made for me.
Question: The “crispy potatoes” look like potato chips in the picture, how are they prepared? Also, and this is more of a general question, is a “hen egg” different from a chicken egg? I don’t know what that means.
Great questions: I believe the crispy potatoes taste pretty much like housemade potato chips. And ‘organic hen egg’ simply implies that the eggs are coming from an organic hen (rather than saying ‘organic egg’, I suppose).
