A Hip New Beverly Hills Takeout Spot for Agency Interns, and More A.M. Intel

ShopHouse Beverly Boulevard is here

That combo ShopHouse / Chipotle in the former Jan’s space is ready to roll, with an official debut scheduled for this coming Thursday. The noodle bowl operator is keeping lunch and dinner hours along Beverly, and has even introduced some crispy spring rolls as a new (and exclusive) menu item.

David LeFevre's is on the Cooking Channel now

David LeFevre of M.B. Post / The Arthur J has landed a pilot over at The Cooking Channel called The Good, the Mad and the Hungry, in which he explores the culinary delights of California. The episode first aired last night apparently, but you can watch it again tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. if you'd like.

The Peninsula Beverly Hills turns on the terrace

Not long ago The Peninsula Beverly Hills underwent a massive reintroduction to the world, changing their decor and menus to better suit the current dining climate. The next project for them became their outdoor terrace, and it looks to have been fully completed just last week. It’s the same menu as inside the restaurant (and same breakfast-through-dinner hours) but the space has been completely reinvigorated, and looks now like one of the better outdoor dining options for all of Beverly Hills.

Ireland gets in on the Downtown praise

Groundwork Coffee expands to Portland

One of Los Angeles' most important local roasters, Groundwork Coffee, is moving north after taking over Portland's iconic Kobos Coffee. The plan is to renovate the space and bring in Groundwork's unique brand of coffee, hopefully as an entrant into the larger Pacific Northwest market.

Craft beer suggestions from a Cannibal

New York City import The Cannibal is coming to Culver City soon, and the Platform-bound project will have a serious craft beer focus. To help prep the city, Citizine chatted with Julian Kurland, cicerone for the restaurant, to discover his current favorite local drinking spots. Boomtown, Three Weavers, and Mumford all grab nods from the self-admitted beer geek.
