Los Angeles is known for many things, but its food is one of its staples. You needn’t look further than this list for those looking for new offerings for breakfast or something for lunch and dinner.

(Saying Goodbye to) Breakfast at All Day Baby

Many find it hard to say goodbye to a restaurant that offers vibrant experiences. However, All Day Baby, which ends its long five-year run on December 15, is one of those goodbyes that will be especially hard. This late fall, the wait to get in has been pushed to an hour as people have flocked in droves to arrive as first-timers or regulars to bid farewell.

The classic breakfast biscuit with sausage, slathered with jam and topped with eggs and cheese, is a fan favorite. There will be a few breakfast sandwiches made like those at All Day Baby, sweet and tender, and with a crisp biscuit to top the salty and fatty notes.

Be sure to get in to eat at All Day Baby before December 15, as afterward, the restaurant will no longer be in business. All Day Baby is available at 3200 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90026.

Sandwiches at Torinos Sandwiches

Tongue sandwiches at Torinos Sandwiches in Pasadena are hot on the menu. Tucked between a bakery and a travel agency on Washington Boulevard, the shop has been around since 1986. It boasts a robust menu of sandwiches, including panini, and composed plates that highlight various Middle Eastern dishes ranging from garlic chicken to falafel and sujuk. 

Their tongue sandwich is one of their specialties and arrives neatly sliced and wrapped in parchment paper. Tenderized tongue, tomatoes, pickles, and fresh jalapeno spears are meticulously layered between toasted bread with a generous swipe of toum in every bite. Add in some pickled pepperoncini for extra spice and tang.

You can find Torninos Sandwiches at 1672 E. Washington Boulevard, Pasadena, CA 91104.

Pork Sisig Try Mumshies Kitchen

Mumshies Kitchen is a Filipino homestyle restaurant. Founded by Frances Vergara in Van Nuys, the former Etihad flight attendant aimed to pursue cooking dreams. The sisig, one of Vergara’s specialties, is made with chopped pork belly, pig ears, pig snout, chicken liver, and onion, accompanied by a properly fried egg and spicy vinegar. The meat is well-chopped and blended with warm, fluffy rice to enhance the flavor of porcine. 

You can find Mumshies Kitchen at 14435 Victory Boulevard, Van Nuys, CA, 91401.

Noodles at Ding’s Garden

Ding’s Garden has been a neighborhood favorite serving pan-regional Chinese since its opening in 1998 for years. The wok dishes are excellent, including chicken fried noodles and pork chop over fried rice. Their version of dan dan noodles also hit the post, as they are served with extra-long wheat noodles and a spicy, nutty sauce.

Ding’s Garden is at 733 W. Naomi Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91007.

Chicken Drumettes From Thunderbolt

The cocktail destination Thunderbolt in Historic Filipinotown is close to downtown, and Mama Leah’s chicken drumettes are the perfect snack. Initially inspired by chef Johneric Concordia’s mother, the drumettes feature crisp, sugary outsides and juicy meat within. They are nicely paired with drinks, including the La Frutera #3, which fuses tequila, guanabana, and smoked pineapple.

Thunderbolt is at 1263 W. Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90026.

Tostadas at Tacos San Miguel Arcangel

Last but not least, some restaurants make the perfect comfort food. Tacos San Miguel Arcangel, a street stand, evokes feelings of comfort for Mexican taquerias. With sunflower-draped tables, their burritos are served with Oaxacan-styled pollo, tasajo, cecina, and chorizo alongside fluffy telera bread tortas, mulitas, memelas, and quesadillas. 

However, their tostadas are a standout. They are almost as large as the paper plates served on and topped with grilled tasajo, stringy queso Oaxaca, crisp cabbage, avocado, and tomatillo salsa.

You can find Tacos San Miguel Arcangel at 12814 Venice Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90066.
