It is made with alkaline water and agar, a vegan gelatin. She also offers savory pies if you're looking for something heartier.įor novelty purposes, you can get a Raindrop Cake here. It's every gooey thing you love about a good brownie, but it's a pie. Nicole Rucker makes a great honey-centric Bee Sting pie, but she won us over with the Chocolate Chess. Other options include The Jolly Oyster, Sticky Rice, Pizzanista, Califas Taco, Ramen Burger, Lobsterdamus, Belly & Snout, Big Mozz and more.ĭessertIf you're really in the mood for dessert, we'd suggest stopping by Rucker's Pies. They've got a great croque madame and a French toast scramble with eggs, sausage, brioche French toast and maple syrup or the Super Green scramble for the health-conscious, with eggs, arugula, spinach, kale, toasted fennel seeds and a hunk of baguette. They also have a vegan cold soba noodle salad.Īnd if you're looking for breakfast, hit up Monsieur Egg. We also liked the beef birria burritos at Burritos La Palma, which come piping hot and greasy, and is best when dipped in their salsa verdeįor non-meat-eaters, we'd suggest the aforementioned tofu taco or the vegetarian khao soi from We have Noodles. They're tangy and spicy, and that's all we know. Primera Taza Coffee House in Boyle Heights does a lonches de lomo, a pork loin sandwich that comes smothered in three sauces-all secret recipes. We liked the whitefish and cucumber, but we never pass up a good lox. Maury's is a pop-up bagel shop, offering bagels and schmear, or bagels topped with veggies and fish. Another popular eat was the CuBAOno from Ichicoro, which is a Cuban sandwich in a pressed bao. We also liked the offerings at Greenspan's Grilled Cheese, where the standout favorite was the mole grilled cheese. Both versions combine their savory main item with crunchy vegetables. You can go for the pork belly or the veggie-friendly tofu, each held in a flaky, crepe-like shell. If pastrami isn't your thing, there's plenty more. Ugly Drum will also hook you up with a very tasty papaya smoothie.

It's $16 for a whole and $9 for a half, but totally worth it. It's not a clever mash-up or a new culinary invention, but frankly, this was our personal favorite menu item. It's deceptively simple: thick, tender slices of flavorful pastrami on rye bread with mustard. Main Course We must begin with the pastrami from Ugly Drum, founded by Joseph Marcos and Erik Black. We can confirm that while pretty much everything at Smorgasburg LA is good, there are a few standout choices. We stopped by for a preview this weekend to sample as much as our bellies could reasonably handle. It takes place every Sunday on the site of the Alameda Produce Market which, during the week, apparently supplies 1% of our nation's food.

But when the temps go down, you're going to want to hit up Smorgasburg LA, which will take place every Sunday at ROW DTLA in the Arts District. If you decided to stay in the air conditioning versus heading out to what is essentially an outdoor foodcourt on black pavement yesterday, we certainly wouldn't blame you. Smorgasburg LA-"a market for food, design, vintage, and events"-officially kicked off at ROW DTLA this weekend with dozens of food vendors, including the best pastrami we've ever had.
