Breakfast

Square One: Los Angeles, CA (Best breakfast in LA)

Posted by foodie on Jul 27, 2011 in Breakfast, feature, Los Angeles | 0 comments

Recently I hit this gem of a tiny restaurant in Hollywood with a friend of mine, and there has never been a moment where we didn’t have to wait at least 15 minutes to get a table.  The space is used efficiently by stacking as many 2 and 4 top tables in, as well as a common dining table, something which I have rarely seen.  Think of the bar at your local tavern folded in half, a place where you can mingle amonst your new foodie friends. But I digress… lets get to the food!

Salmon Benedict 

I started out with a favorite of mine, Eggs Benedict, but with a slight twist.  This order was for Salmon Benedict over a potato latka, similar to loose hash browns.  This was a nice twist on a classic recipe since the potatoes were not going to get soggy as soon as the yolk breaks its seal.  Eating salmon, egg, and latka in one bite made my mouth a very happy place.  The one thing I was a little disappointed on was that on its own, the smoked salmon was rather salty, which nullified any smokiness to the meat.

Chorizo

What can I say about this loose chorizo?  A little dry, but tasty none the less with a nice kick on the front end and lingering heat.

Bacon French Toast

If there is a reason why any place should hold the title of “Best Breakfast,” its because of this dish.  I really don’t know how to explain it.  This is not a main dish food, its a topper on the end of your meal.  The french toast is prepared with a bacon infused caramel syrup and served with bacon.  How much more decadent can you get?  The perfect ending to any breakfast!
