The growth is real
Expansions are underway in Mar Vista, as Little Fatty and the attached Accomplice bar look to take over the frontage of an old discount store next door. The plan is to join up all the square footage on that block to allow the whole restaurant/bar complex to grow from 40 to 80 seats, with food still coming out of the original Little Fatty kitchen at the end of the room(s). The project is likely to take a few months, ending in March or April of 2019. Former lead Accomplice bartender Gaby Mlynarczyk, meanwhile, is now running the program at the Hearth & Hound in Hollywood.
