Donde puedo encontrar un buen brunch?
I’ve been in a brunch rut lately. I’m tired of the same old places. It’s been like watching the fourth “Police Academy” movie…how many times can I enjoy Steve Guttenberg’s zany antics?
I apologize for that last comment. I’ll never turn on you again, Eugene Tackleberry. I love every Police Academy movie, including and especially “Citizens on Patrol”, although the notion of Cadet Tomoko sleeping on a bed of sharpened needles is still quasi-racist.
Usually I greet Mexican/Latin American fusion restaurants with skepticism. In fact, I usually call bullshit. However, Playa offers really delicious brunch offerings with enough inventiveness that stops just short of straying too far from the familiarity of breakfast comfort cuisine. The maize cake Jewish was a nice, above-average starter that whets the appetite for the corn custard and squash blossom flan, jalapeno waffles with pepita salsa, and eggs benedict with chipotle bearnaise sauce. Wash it down with a couple of pisco sours and a RYE WHISKEY spicy bloody mary, and you can roll home just in time for the afternoon NFL game.
This is currently my favorite brunch place in L.A.
Playa, 7360 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036, (323) 933-5300
