They have their own chickens that guests are welcome to visit as well as a compost program in partnership with “The Hungry Gardens,” who oversee the management and operation of the garden and live chicken programs.The menu is seasonal and ingredient-driven, with a distinctly Southern California feel—approachable yet full of flavor. Dishes come and go with the seasons and the menu is always evolving with only a few mainstays like the biscuits and the chicken.The open kitchen complete with a wood-fired grill at center stage allows diners to sit at the bar and watch the action.🎧 Listen to the Podcast:Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/3ZUVt7hAf8JvrA4NvHRd7Z?si=3f3b627900fb4583Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aftertaste-la/id1840083535Amazon → https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b94749de-3c4c-40a2-b549-f80ac2725a58/aftertaste-laRSS Feed → https://feeds.captivate.fm/aftertaste-la/📱 Connect with us here:Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/aftertastelaThreads → https://www.threads.com/@aftertastelaTikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@aftertastela🍴 About Aftertaste LA:Join Chef Vlad and Nicole on their journey through the Los Angeles dining scene.
