Description

Kitchen 24, a design-intensive 24-hour diner in what has come to be known as the Cahuenga Corridor, is probably at its best after midnight, when the tuck 'n' roll booths are filled by the likes of Audrina Patridge and Lindsay Lohan, and the alcohol-spiked milk shakes start to feel a bit wicked as the hour approaches last call. The menu is thick with things like Monte Cristo sandwiches, tuna burgers garnished with Japanese pickled ginger, sweet-potato fries and bowls of herby mac and cheese designed to soak up excess vodka absorbed elsewhere on the Corridor - the aptly titled Bartender's Banquet, which involves a strawberry-whipped cream waffle and an oniony scramble of bacon, eggs and sprouts, would seem to spell out the intent in capital letters, as would a slab of salmon wrapped in hash browns, plopped down on a bed of spinach and smothered in hollandaise. There is valet parking, which on this overcrowded block is all but essential after dark. 1
