Photos: Bison Burgers, Savory Smoothies And Gluten-Free Sweets At Stamp Proper Foods
Stamp Proper Foods opened up in Los Feliz this Spring, giving locals a bright space to veg out and enjoy health-focused eats. And because of their close proximity to Griffith Park, the restaurant and marketplace makes for a perfect spot to pick up picnic items.
In addition to delicious gluten-free, vegan, and paleo-friendly dishes, Stamp Proper also sells books, housewares and other vintage finds from local flea markets. And because Catherine Baker, who owns the restaurant with her husband David, is from the Pacific Northwest, you'll also find coffee and cold brew from Stumptown Roasters.
Baker is also a former model, who since leaving the industry has taken a more sustainable approach to health and wellness -- hence the juices, gluten-free goodies, and power food packed eats on the menu. Some of our favorite dishes included the bison chili and bison meatloaf sandwich (bison is much leaner and tastier than beef), as well as the surprisingly good tomato and berry smoothie with basil. There are also almond flour desserts and a wide selection of hangover-friendly breakfast items.
Here's a peek at what we ate.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
