'Til Aug 22 at BreadBar: 8718 W 3rd St, Mid-Wilshire; 310.205.0124

Vaunted chef Ludovic Lefebvre (Bastide, L'Orangerie) is taking over dinner duties at BreadBar with a French-influenced prix-fixe ($33 app/entree or entree/dessert, or $39 for all three), crafting whatever the hell he wants, be it rare tuna w/ beets, watermelon, tapioca pearls, and smoked vinegar; fried chicken w/ homemade pom frites; or pork ribs w/ English peas guacamole, wasabi, and "imaginary choucroute", which will enjoy your tea parties immensely and will always tell you you're pretty.
