About Dunsmoor

Brian Dunsmoor's Michelin-listed restaurant in Glassell Park has become one of the best arguments for Northeast LA as a dining destination. The wood-fire kitchen is the engine of everything here — oysters roasted until their shells open and pool with smoky liquor, whole birds and lamb turning over coals, vegetables that pick up char and sweetness simultaneously. Edna's sourdough cornbread, made with white cheddar and hatch chile and served with honey butter, is the dish that has launched a thousand Instagram posts for good reason: it is the best cornbread in Los Angeles. The burger — Comté cheese, duck fat potatoes, available in a run of exactly 20 per night — is a cult object. The room is warm, the wine list is smart, and the neighborhood feels lucky to have it.
