"Still, it's one of the best places to go to impress your out-of-town friends and family, who can marvel at how swiftly you navigate the ticketed line system (they missed the 58 first visits where you were one of the confused onlookers); how deftly you order the least expected smoked fish in the display case. Maybe you grab a goat cheese and potato frittata slice or a cornmeal pastry pocked with heat-imploded blackberries."
"I know the weekend will be a good one when I start my Saturday morning at Car with a croissant and iced vanilla latte. My former colleague Cathy Chaplin boasted about the chocolate croissants before, even going so far as to name it the "ultimate chocolate croissant." And while they truly are exceptional (the bakery specializes in chocolate, after all),"
Four weekend dining destinations in Los Angeles are highlighted. Gjusta in Venice offers a full-on weekend vibe with a ticketed line system, an expansive outdoor patio, and a focus on smoked fish, fresh breads and fish plates; recent highlights include a bagel blanketed with ikura. Menu options include goat cheese and potato frittata and cornmeal pastries pocked with heat-imploded blackberries. Car Artisan Chocolate Manufactory & Cafe in Pasadena specializes in chocolate and pastries, serving exceptional chocolate croissants, rotating specialties like jammy berry danish and syrupy kouign amann, and coffee such as iced vanilla lattes.
