Spoonful

For the first two nights in LA we stayed at very interesting house with a homeowner named Tari. The house was seriously one of a kind with a trampoline, stripper pole, dance/yoga studio, and even a tight rope... We found this peculiar property on Air BnB and found Tari to be extremely friendly and welcoming. Tari initially asked if we wanted vegetarian food for lunch but that was politely shot down so we decided to eat at a cute little southern restaurant called Spoonful instead. Our server was very sweet and made us feel very at home at the small eatery. The menu was also quite enticing and it was a miracle that we didn't over order (my specialty).

Country Chili with Cornbread
The chili was rich, meaty, and of the perfect consistency. The flavors were spot on and it was really comforting and enjoyable to eat. The corn bread was some of the best I've ever had, it was moist and the sweetness of the corn really shone through. The cornbread along with the rich chili made a delectable combination. Yum! 

mmm golden goodness

Fried Chicken Plate with Collard Greens and Macaroni and Cheese
The chicken was super juicy and tender and was encased in a very well seasoned batter. The batter was perfectly crunchy and not overly greasy. The collard greens were a little bit too salty for my liking but it was interesting as I barely ever eat collard greens. The mac and cheese was quite decent and very cheesy and hot. I suppose the sauce could have used a more flavorful cheese as it wasn't very distinctly flavored but it was still tasty. 

Shrimp Po'boy with Sweet Potato Fries
This sandwich was delishhhh! The shrimp was large and juicy and was deep fried (yes I know this was definitely a fatty meal). The spicy remoulade gave the sandwich a nice kick and everything just went together so well to create a bomb sandwich. The sweet potato fries were subpar however as they weren't crispy enough.

The food was very decent and I enjoyed my lunch here. However this wouldn't be a restaurant that I would specifically want to return to when I am in LA as it wasn't mind blowing. But if you are in the area and want some quality southern food do stop by!
