Skynny Kitchen, a New Calorie-Curbed Fast-Casual Place

Following the recent trend of restaurants offering dishes containing under a set number of calories, please welcome the aptly titled Skynny Kitchen, which opened July 9 in the NoHo Arts District replacing Otis Jackson's Soul Dog. Owner Matt Flinn, formerly a private chef, has a breakfast-lunch-dinner menu with all plates under 500 calories. For breakfast there's inexpensive sandwiches and a frittata, with a plethora of soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps plus sides and shakes on offer the rest of the day. All food is really quite reasonably pried too, all less than $11. And, by the way, Skynny Kitchen is next headed to West Hollywood this fall. [Eaterwire]
