When celebrity chef Bobby Flay snags breakfast in the City of Angels, chances are good you’ll find him posted up at Salt’s Cure, a buzzy farm-to-table spot that the Food Network star named as his top breakfast joint in Los Angeles. Renowned for its griddle cakes, Salt’s Cure has found itself on numerous “best of” lists since opening as just a small store in 2010. Founded by chef Chris Phelps, the beloved eatery takes pride in its ethical butchery practices and use of locally sourced fresh ingredients from the farmer’s market.
Salt’s Cure’s breakfast menu allows patrons to build their own breakfast with its signature oatmeal griddle cakes topped with sugary cinnamon butter and classics like eggs, pork sausage, cured bacon, and hash browns. The “all-star” is the best-seller, coming with two pieces of bacon, two sausages, two eggs, and two griddle cakes, plus a biscuit with jam. The restaurant also offers seasonal soups and salads, trendy avocado toast, and sandwiches, including a cheeseburger and a pulled chicken BBQ with a ranch slaw.
What To Expect When You Dine At Salt’s Cure
Other Salt’s Cure signatures include a 12-ounce pork chop, an avocado citrus salad, seasonal fruit, and biscuits and gravy. You can also get smoked salmon on sourdough toast with avocado hummus and a classic sausage, egg, and cheese. The latter is done a little different than McDonald’s popular breakfast sandwiches, with added lettuce and an aioli spread on a seeded bun.
What about the atmosphere, you wonder? Salt’s Cure’s location on Highland Avenue boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that open up to outdoor seating and rustic wood paneling complemented by wood tables and chairs. It also features a full bar, warm lighting, and a cheeky salt shaker sign. If you go, you might just run into chef Bobby Flay dining, or other famous faces like Gwyneth Paltrow, whose lifestyle brand, Goop, has given it a shoutout, or Gigi Hadid, who had a part in the opening of its New York City location…
