If you’re in LA, have you been to Joan’s on Third? A new pal from the show we’re doing (by the way, come see our show!) works there and has been telling us forever that we needed to try the place out. So we went the other day, and sure enough — it’s my new favorite place. It’s clean and white and beautiful, and stuffed full of delicious things everywhere you turn. And apparently, it’s totally a must-do in LA (we struck up a conversation with the women sitting next to us, who said, “Oh, it’s an institution!” Haha!). That, and it totally feels like Eataly or Dean & Deluca, a couple of my favorite spots in NYC.
We pretty much let our buddy order for us, since he knows the ropes. For me, he recommended the butternut squash soup and grilled cheese — they do a half soup/half sandwich lunch plate if you ask for it! Mr. Lovely got the fried chicken sandwich with a side of brussels sprouts. And there was not one thing that wasn’t delicious. Even while we were walking out, completely full, we kept spying things that we wanted to come back and try.
Long story short, go give it a try! Or if you’ve been there, what’s your fave? I need recommendations for our next trip! xoxo
That butternut squash soup and grilled cheese looks like my ideal meal…delicious. And you captured this place so beautifully.
love it
Looks awesome! I wonder if they are vegan friendly.
This has to be one of my favourite spots to brunch in L.A. The pulled pork sandwich is to die for although it’s very rich so best to be shared 🙂 That area on 3rd St. has some great places to eat! Lovely post 🙂
I am so glad I found your blog. I think it is safe to say that your blog is my newest blog crush. I love the layout and the design. I will definitely be following you on bloglovin. xx. McKenna Lou

Oh my god,it’s so strange for me,an italian,to see you writing about Eataly!
try the cheese platter for sure! it comes with 3 types of cheeses , slices of baguette, fig and quince paste and marcona almonds in olive oil and sea salt. it’s amazing, get the goat cheese with truffle oil for sure.
I love their tables, how unique! Great pix.
OMG I want to eat everything you took a picture of. Including the table.
I used to go there for coffee and treats or breakfast when I lived in L.A.! One of my friends loved that place and always insisted we go there. I love living in Seattle, but sometimes I wish I could teleport myself to L.A. for the day. 🙂
You should probably come visit ASAP. 😉
