One word sums this place up - BACON.
Sure, they serve up all sorts of good stuff, but what brings me back every time is their bacon. They start with the applewood smoked variety we all know and love, and then take it up a notch by glazing it in some sort of wonderfully sticky, but not overly sweet, maple-based syrup and top it off with some finely chopped fresh herbs. This bacon is so good, I've had vegetarian friends break not only to have a bite, but to order their own side! It's THAT good.
Bacon aside, Grub serves up a nice variety of brekkie and lunch in a homey, cheery, Hollywood locale (it's a converted bungalow in a residential hood). They're open from 11a-3p every day of the week.
The crowd is very casual and consists of primarily locals and behind-the-scenes, industry production types walking over from the local studios. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and you'll likely be seated by one of the owners.
They serve up all sorts of comfort food, and make a mean grilled cheese accompanied by homemade tomato soup called the After School Special. A great lunch or snack is the (very) GARLICKY Mt. Olympus - a wild mushroom couscous salad, with olive tapenade, hummus and artichoke hearts, served with pita triangles. The homemade GingerAle is spicy and yum and a nice way to wash down your garlic or bacon.
Oh, and the french toast is friggin' amazing!
Tip: This place is nestled next to the studios and it seems to be a magnet for B-list celebs, so if you have visitors in tow, it's a great low-key stop for a satisfying bite to eat and a little people watching. The front patio is also small pet friendly, so if you're looking for a place to brunch and read the paper where you can bring Fido along, this could be it.
