EaterWire: Let's Be Frank in Silver Lake, AK Brunch, Spitz Parties, More Urth Hours

SILVER LAKE: After a trial run last month, Sue Moore has decided to park the Let's Be Frank truck in front of Silverlake Wines every Thursday night from 5pm-11pm. We're pretty sure someone at the shop will know which wine goes with all-natural beef hot dogs topped with onions and homemade bread-and-butter pickles. [Eater Inbox; photo via Triplecreme]

VENICE: Not only has AK Restaurant finally added windows on its patio/dining room, but also now serves brunch on Saturday and Sunday, 10am-3pm. The new menu has some old-fashioned comfort foods like Swedish pancakes, brioche French toast and chef Conny Andersson's favorite breakfast hash. Fresh juices, champagne, beer, and specialty mimosas and bellinis are also served. [Eater Inbox]
