Switcheroos in Silver Lake
There’s a new executive chef running the show at Barbrix in Silver Lake: Gavin Mills. The well-known chef has most recently been running things at Miro in the Financial District in Downtown, but joins the Silver Lake party to bring some updated looks to not only the brunch menu, but dinner as well. Mills made a name for himself in Downtown after years of working the Southern California gastropub circuit at places like Spare Tire, Boar Dough in Agoura Hills, and Wood & Vine in Hollywood. Expect even more charcuterie and pasta to come at Barbrix.

Depressed cakes for a cause
There’s another Depressed Cake Shop pop-up happening soon, this time in Beverly Hills. The event will take place on October 7 at Baby Bea’s Bakeshop, and will feature grey cakes that hide a rainbow of colors inside. All proceeds go to benefit the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
