Easter in L.A. means the full return of spring, and a lot of children who probably aren't sure why they're running around a lawn looking for colored eggs. For restaurants, it means an excuse to whip up the best brunch and seasonal dishes, like eggs Benedict, roasted leg of lamb and more. There's asparagus, spring peas, and other spring produce across the city that really highlights L.A.'s strength during this season. Regardless of the reason, it's a time to celebrate great weather and delicious food. Thusly, Eater presents Easter specials in Los Angeles.
