Forage

Awesome vintage eatery. I ordered the grilled salmon with beet salad and fried potatoes. I let the the nice lady at the counter know that I had a gluten allergy and she asked if I was Celiac, I says no. She told me that the potatoes are fried in a fryer with other breaded foods. I says as long as the potatoes don't have a coating on them, and you make them extra well burnt, I believe it changes the molecular structure of the gluten and it doesn't bother me. Every time I get limp french frys that is fried in the fryer with other wheat stuff, it becomes an issue. I had a most awesome plate. And when I wanted a second beer the bartender said that I have to go and pay it to register. I said oh I'm eating never mind. And she says you have a card. I says yes. I gave her my card and she brought me another wonderful frosty draft beer.

Can’t believe I just found this spot, it’s actually one of my favorites in Silver Lake. Forage reminds me of a less snooty and crowded Sqirl. It’s one of the best all around menus in town and everything from the salmon belly tacos to the beef bowls to the gluten free brownies is insanely delicious. The servers are also so kind and attentive, it’s easy to order at the front and sit down. Their drink selection is also vast, I’d recommend their miso latte more than the strawberry matcha, but both were great. Overall, it’s genuinely a 10/10 and I cannot stop dealing with the terrible parking situation in order to eat here again and again.
