The Oinkster Gift Certificate
$30 gift certificate at The Oinkster in Eagle Rock.
Who says a great meal needs to be a formal affair?
The Oinkster, a fast-casual concept from acclaimed fine-dining chef Andre Guerrero, invites diners to kick back and enjoy high-quality American classics in a relaxed, modern and fun environment. Occupying the former site of Jim’s Burgers on Eagle Rock’s newly hip Colorado Boulevard, The Oinkster aims to be Los Angeles’ antidote to both, expensive gourmet meals and their cheap fast food counterparts. On the restaurant’s $10-and-under menu that skips high prices in favor of better flavors, quality will be paramount. Premium sandwiches made with house-cured pastrami or sloooow-roasted pork compete for diners’ attention with juicy burgers made from freshly-ground Nebraska Angus beef, first-rate rotisserie-roasted chicken and crispy Belgian fries. Fake fast-food cheese are given a pass in favor of scrumptious Gruyere and yummy sharp cheddar; home-made sauces, dressings and spice rubs share the plate with house-made condiments and crunchy veggies. In typical Oinkster-fashion, all remaining culinary needs are addressed in taste and style, too: Each meal can be rounded out with a premium beer, quality wine or one of the restaurant unusual specialty sodas; Hand scooped shakes made with Fosselman's ice cream and an assortment of handmade cupcakes and desserts tempt the taste buds.
Tomato Pie Pizza Joint Gift Card
The pizza may be New York, but the style is all LA.Tomato Pie Pizza already has locations in Melrose and Silverlake and has chosen South Pasadena for it’s latest opening.
According to the website, Tomato Pie originally opened on Melrose after a lot of effort and a lot of experimentation. Once they really got going, they opened another spot in Silverlake and now they’re coming to our neck of the woods.
A lot of places call themselves New York style, but Tomato Pie really takes things seriously and has even landed on lists of the best pizza places in the nation—no easy task in a nation filled with different pizza places on every corner in every town.
Once the doors open, try the famous “Grandma,” which GQ writer Alan Richman describes as “a traditional and gorgeously assembled pizza with crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic, and a scattering of mozzarella, basil, oregano, and Pecorino Romano.”
Tomato Pie has other dishes as well including the namesake “Tomato Pie,” which Eater explains as an East Coast favorite consisting of “a square pan baked pizza covered in sauce with no mozzarella, but dusted with grated Pecorino Romano.” And the menu also lists plenty of pasta, subs and salads in case you want more than just a slice. And a liquor license is also reported to be in the works as well.
Watch for the opening on Mission Street, in the space that used to be occupied by Livin’art, a furniture store.
