No more Fat Dog
Fairfax gastropub the Fat Dog is closing after more than eight years. Staff was told yesterday of the upcoming shutter, slated to go down on December 23, and now Susann and Richard Mandeville have gone public, telling Eater that “unfortunately... it is no longer sustainable for us to keep Fairfax open.” Starting today, the restaurant will keep only happy hour through dinner hours (starting at 4 p.m.), meaning no more lunch or brunch. The menu will also slim down considerably as the final day of service inches closer, so best to get in sooner rather than later for a final meal. The North Hollywood location will stay open.
All for the kids
Another seasonal bake sale for charity is happening soon, this time at Pizzana in West Hollywood. All proceeds from the purchases go to No Kid Hungry.
Another feather in the cap
Acme Hospitality, the Santa Barbara outfit behind many of the city’s most iconic restaurants like the Lark and Loquita, has just purchased the city’s beloved 20-year-old Paradise Cafe. The restaurant will remain open.
Well this sounds cool

Seafood and sake for all

Welcome to the neighborhood
There’s a new casual lunch and early dinner option open in East Hollywood. It’s called M.A.P. (as in Meat and Provisions), and it’s open from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily at 5652 Hollywood Boulevard from the same owners as next-door cafe Bolt.
