Gjelina’s Founding Chef Is Developing a 100-Year-Old Venice Building for His Next Restaurant

Gjelina’s Founding Chef Is Developing a 100-Year-Old Venice Building for His Next Restaurant

Cook Travis Lett, previously of the Gjelina Team and now Sonnyboy Hospitality, is aligning his next project after the opening of the new-school izakaya RVR this September. A notification of intent uploaded at 38 Market Street in Venice suggests that Lett and business have actually made an application for a seaside growth authorization with Los Angeles City Planning. The recommended growth consists of changing the building’s usage from manufacturing to a restaurant and developing a new industrial kitchen area, indoor dining location, outside eating outdoor patio, roofing system deck eating patio, and onsite parking. The notification likewise suggested that the inbound restaurant would give “a complete line of alcohols.”

Offered the extensive timelines associated with permitting, building, and general bureaucracy, the new restaurant will certainly not likely open up until late 2025 or even 2026. Eater reached out to Lett for remark and received the complying with statement:

I’m servicing the advancement of a beautiful historical building in Venice Coastline. I found this 100-year-old building by the coastline and I’m working very closely with the city to see if we can obtain it authorized. The Beach Area is the oldest component of Venice and a brand-new frontier– it’s an exciting chance. We’re optimistic we’ll have the ability to bring it to fruition, at which point I’ll be looking more very closely at the idea, however as of right now it’s too early to share more.

The Los Angeles Times’ Stephanie Breijo shares the news that Jennifer Feltham and Teodoro Diaz-Rodriguez Jr.’s Sonoratown simply opened a michelada bar and tortillería at its Mid-Wilshire area. The tortillería, concealed behind the cantina, cranks out deluxe flour tortillas for shops in Downtown, Mid-Wilshire, and soon in Long Coastline. The bar serves sangrias, micheladas, and snacks like elotes and nachos.

There might be no larger concentration of exhausted parents and kid caretakers than at the Los Angeles Zoo. Fortunately, Coffee Bean & Tea Fallen leave installed a permanent food truck simply outside the front entrance in the parking area to give copious quantities of high levels of caffeine and a few breads from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
