The team of Executive Chef Daniel Mattern and Pastry Chef & Baker Roxana Jullapat are fondly remembered as the culinary heart of Cook’s County (now closed.) Happily they have now opened a 4,000 square foot, fast casual breakfast and lunch place of their own, Friends & Family. Dinner is coming soon…All breads & pastries are prepared and baked in-house. It’s a great addition to Los Angeles’ rediscovered Thai Town.
It’s a vibrant bakery, coffee bar and café where you can enjoy every menu item there or have it packaged to go. The ice cream counter features eye-catching rotating seasonal flavors presented in housemade waffle cones. They also prepare appealing gift baskets, picnics and have a monthly bread club (Friends & Family Sourdough Club.)
Pies for the 4th of July can be ordered through July 2nd. On the menu are Key Lime Pie, Banana Cream Pie and Blackberry & Nectarine Pie.
Remember Senor Bill Esparza (The Street Gourmet Los Angeles) will be there on Saturday July 8th from Noon to 3:00 p.m. signing copies of his new book, L.A. Mexicano – Recipes, People & Places. Books will be available there for purchase. Also, Bill’s Abuela’s recipe for Huevos Rancheros will be on the menu that day.
Chefs Roxana and Daniel join us.
