Hank’s Bagels Bringing Carbs Back To Brentwood

Everyone’s favorite breakfast staple, the humble bagel, appears to be having a resurgence after a dark period of carb avoidance. There are lines out the door at the hip outpost of New York’s H&H Bagels, also Layla Bagels, Pop’s Bagels, Sam’s Bagels, and others. Now a new contender is throwing its hat into the ring. A sharp-eyed reader (Thanks Blair!) noticed window decals up on the space that used to be the home of Yu Cake, at 11725 Barrington Ct in Brentwood, announcing the arrival of a branch of Hank’s Bagels. Hank’s Bagels has locations in Burbank and Sherman Oaks and offers a menu of a variety of handmade bagels, spreads, and sandwiches that you can read more about here.

What’s Going On At The Old Brentwood Restaurant & Lounge Space?

Brentwood Village is having a moment…  There’s a new ABC application on the front door of 148 S Barrington Ave. in Brentwood Village, previously home to beloved local hotspot Brentwood Restaurant & Lounge and ill-fated Baja Norte.  The space is completely gutted, and there’s not much information on the new eatery.  But if you examine the ABC application, a familiar name is listed: Dana Slatkin.  Dana Slatkin is none other than one of the people behind Westwood’s French culinary powerhouse Violet.  The business name on the application is listed as “Glenbarr”, but what I’m hearing is that the new business’ name will be The Wilkes.  (I do not have confirmation for this.)  Rumor has it this will be a return to the loungey superclub feel of the old Brentwood Restaurant & Lounge.  You’ve got my attention…

Terroni Brentwood Coming Soon

If you were wondering what was going on behind the build-out at 155 S Barrington Place in Brentwood Village, I’ve got answers.  An ABC application was recently posted on the front that gives us proof this will be the location of Terroni Brentwood.  And while What Now Los Angeles broke the news earlier this year, the license application confirms it.  The people behind Terroni, Grupo Terroni, operate a series of Italian eateries across the region, including Terroni Beverly and La Bettola LA.  The focus is on Italian with “authenticity and tradition” utilizing quality ingredients imported from Italy for their pastas and pizzas.  Brentwood sure does love Italian food.  Remember that the legendary Peppone, Maria’s Italian Kitchen, old-school Divino, and the recently opened and quite splendid All Roads are all about a block away…

All Roads Nearly Open In Brentwood Village

When I originally posted about a new Italian venture with Toscana alum on board, at 145 S Barrington Ave. in Brentwood Village, the name on the ABC application listed the new eatery as Nuvola.  Since then, signs have gone up on the space announcing the name as All Roads.  The new “Roman inspired eatery and wine bar” will be open every day from 11AM to 10PM.  It looks like they’re close to opening.  Until then, check out their menu of pinsa and salads here.

Nuvola Bringing Pedigreed Italian To Brentwood Village

There’s a new ABC application on the front of the space at 145 S Barrington Ave. in Brentwood Village.  The name of the new eatery is Nuvola, but that doesn’t bring up much on a search.  The license details reveal two names, Luca Crestanelli and Roberto Facciolla, both of whom are associated with local Italian powerhouse Toscana Restaurant Group.  I don’t know what is exactly in store (the window display seems to imply more of a deli), but definitely exciting news for the tony, exclusive neighborhood.

Sushi Miyagi Dishing Fish In Brentwood Soon…

A reader (Thanks CK!) sent me to check out what was going on at the old Café Brentwood space, in the prominent corner location at 150 S Barrington Ave. in Brentwood Village.  A new ABC application is posted in the window of the tricky space announcing the arrival of Sushi Miyagi.  There is not much information out there on Sushi Miyagi, and a search of the name on the application reveals little as well, so let me know if you have more information…

Roast Is Done In Brentwood Village

On a tip from a reader (Thanks JP!), I went by to check out what was going on at Roast Deli & Market in Brentwood Village.  The windows are papered over and the signs have been pulled from their space at 147 S. Barrington Ave.  While their website is still up, Yelp is reporting them as closed, and so am I.  I’ll watch to see what might move in.
