fathers office
Fathers Office doesn’t need your business. [1]
But who cares about figs, Father’s Office is known for their burgers. [2]
No, this is L.A. County’s landmark gastropub (tiny as it is) where foodies, beer connoisseurs (and sometimes smug scenesters) from near and far wait in ridiculously long lines in hopes of getting a spot at one of the tables crammed inside. [3]
“And yes its’ absolutely delicious and the beer selection is amazing.” [2]
Chef-owner Sang Yoon is more or less the Los Angeles equivalent of David Chang, whose Ko in New York City sells out each day’s seating in less time than it takes to crack an egg, and Yoon could probably get away with serving his goat-cheese gratin?e in telephone booths if he felt like it. [4]
I have only had the burger and sweet potato fries, but these 2 items are all you really need to know about. [...] It tasted so dry, that I had to reach for my bottled root beer after each bite. [...] Each trip to LA entailed hours of research to ensure each meal is not wasted on mediocre and subpar food that contains thousands of calories. [1]
The fries and beer are pretty great too. [...] Yes the burger is divine, but without the fun crowds, the place is somber in atmosphere. [5]
Get your quick guide to the top hotels, restaurants and things to do. [...] This isn’t the place to go for a quiet, romantic dinner as it is fairly small, busy and has a bar like atmosphere. [6]
I’ve been to the one in Santa Monica and this one is a bigger place. [2]
I knew there’d be a wait but I wasn’t quite sure how disorganized the seating would be, and bad form to the college kids who stole my bar seat I was sitting in when I got up to get a fork. [1]
They also have delicious sweet potato fries — perfect amount of crisp and flavor. [2]
