Lodge Bread Company (11918 Washington Blvd) is one of my favorite Los Angeles restaurants to grab an early morning bite. Their pastries are delicious. And their shakshuka is to die for.

And while I wasn’t intending on having any pizza during the short time I was there, I couldn’t resist a stand at a local market in the quaint town of Kilkenny.
