Plywood down at Father's Office!!

...Or at least most of it is! Finally, a first look at the inside of the second Father's Office.
My husband, one of the most ardent FO groupies I've ever met, drives past the new location at the Helms Bakery in Culver City everyday, in the hungry hope of catching the plywood coming down, or (gasp!), the "open" sign beaming beer & burger hope into the night sky.
Today, at least part of his prayers were answered: a furtive first look at the INSIDE of Father's Office 2. Bren snapped the photo above, through the glass, even catching someone who looks suspiciously like Chef Sang Yoon admiring that long-ass bar that everyone has been talking about.

Not long now, right?? RIGHT? I can't wait to walk over there whenever I get a craving for that delicious burger... the best I've ever had.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
