Spotlight on: Haven Gastropub + Brewery

House-cured salmon at Haven Gastropub + Brewery.

Not many restaurants migrate from Orange County to L.A., but Old Pasadena is the beneficiary of a new Haven Gastropub + Brewery, an O.C. fave. Chef Greg Daniels loves to experiment with animal parts that other chefs throw away or don’t give their customers credit for appreciating; pig’s ear, porchetta di testa and rabbit liver are all favorite ingredients of Daniels’. The bar pours 150 craft beers, and the menu is loaded with nouveau pub specialties such as beef cheek poutine, goose pastrami sandwich, pheasant pot pie and bacon ice cream. A whole suckling pig is just a phone call away, serving eight to 14 hungry pork-aholics. 42 S. De Lacey Ave., Pasadena, 626.768.9555. havengastropub.com
