The Destroyer LA [$$$$]
Lowk i think this might have been the best breakfast food I've had in LA. Great salads, fruits, pastries and breads.
- The blueberries were extremely juicy and the yogurt under them is perfect, not too tart, neither too sweet. There are also bits of licorice bark (?) in them that were absolutely amazing. I'm not sure what the smaller purple spheres were, but they were fruity and jelly like.
This was the chickpea salad. A delight to the eyes. The thing on top is a crispy cheese thing that was amazing. The chickpeas themselves sit in a base of tomato, bell peppers, onions and tangy spices - very flavorful. A huge win. There's also a chickpea patty like thing called a panisse that was delectable. The panisse was flavored, and tasted lightly salty, light and bready.
The french toast was a standout dish. Now you might ask me how it's possible that a simple french toast could warrant special mention but it was so light, not that sweet (i think the bread was sourdough), the marmalade it was served with was delightful! I think it was peaches. and the mix between crisp edge and soft center was perfect.
This was possibly my favorite savory breakfast dish I've had thus far. It had gruyère and oats topped with puffed rice. Each spoonfull was so warm and comforting. The bottom of the bowl had black garlic which added a saltiness to it, but with very mild flavor. The herb on top and the warm oats + gruyère was unbeatable.
The rye was good. Hints of chocolate which made me think that the color was from cocoa. The nuts were great - neither too soggy nor crisp. The jam it came with was a little strong. This dish packed a ton of weight for a simple bread service - was much heavier than i imagined.
This avocado confit with stracciatella was also very good and fantastic over the bread. there was a massive avocado under what you see and was strong and bursting with flavor. The salad was a little difficult to mix given that each ingredient was heavy, but tasted amazing nonetheless.
The coffee had rose water in it which I really liked. The coffee itself was ok - a little bitter for my taste. But the rose water came through and was pleasant. The coffee wasn't as sweet as one would imagine.
This almond croissant was a little dry. I wish there was more frangipane. The croissant was crispy nonetheless and i would get it again.
