Huckleberry

Huckleberry brisket

I don't know if business is ever slow at Huckleberry. Maybe I will try eating lunch there at 11am sometime and let you know if it's easy breezy. But, even if there's a long line to order, rest assured that your patience will be rewarded once the food arrives.

Yes, I ordered the brisket plate ($12.25) on a warm summer day and it was delicious: tender, flavorful and unfussy. I wasn't expecting such a generous portion! Bread and an arugula salad were also included. I have never paid much attention to brisket before, but this dish felt like a proper introduction. In fact, I want to try cooking it at home once the weather cools down a bit.

For dessert, raspberry and fig galette ($4.50) that was just sweet enough. One could make a meal out of just their pastries and desserts. So many to choose from. Make sure to save room!

Kat: Yes! I am looking forward to seeing which soups are offered once it is autumn (or as close to it as we get in LA). Nice to hear from you!

Weezermonkey: Hi! Trying to get back into blogging!

Unfussy -- that's the word! Oddly, business during dinner is slow, and that's the only time I'd ever go. Otherwise, what a friggin pain.

SinoSoul: Hello! Interesting, thanks for letting me know about dinner. Might be the ideal time to try their specials!
