ATWATER VILLAGE—Momed by Alex Sarkissian has taken over the expansive indoor-outdoor space that was once The Crossing, bringing Mediterranean dishes like mezze, smoked veal tongue, pork T-bone, and other specialties to a sleepy stretch of Atwater. Consulting chef Jeremy Strubel, who worked at Bastide and Rustic Canyon, is adding a few more dishes that incorporate local, organic ingredients. Sarkissian also gave the place a bit more flavor in terms of decor. [EaterWire]
