Exec chef Shelley Cooper delivers a cheeky, Southern-inflected menu of delicious guilty pleasures. Highlights include a macaroni and cheese flight (featuring macs made with Tillamook cheddar, goat and triple cream brie); Praise the Lard ([pictured below] crispy pig ear, bourbon-braised pork cheeks and Kurobuta pork belly); and the LAPD Doughnut Shakedown (Boston cream pie doughnuts and chocolate dipping sauce with a mini strawberry milkshake).
We’re told that Fedora at First & Hope, the transporting, glam cabaret room in back, will start hosting live entertainment starting this weekend.
Stop by for some sips and bites before this little strip-mall secret gets out. (Meaning: before Old Fashioned-swilling hipsters come out in droves.) FIrst & Hope, 710 W. 1st St., downtown, 213.617.8555.
