A Coffee Beer And Donut Pairing, A Top Chef Showdown & More Weekend Eats
Mmmmm...beer and donuts (via Facebook)
()
It looks like it may rain this weekend, which means you're definitely going to want to hunker down somewhere to savor some tasty food and drinks. Heck, even if it doesn't rain, you're still going to want to do that. From a coffee-infused beer and donuts pairing to a Top Chef showdown, here are some of our favorite food and drink events happening this weekend.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 23
Coffee Beer and Donuts at Southland Beer
What's better than coffee and donuts? Why, coffee beer paired with donuts, of course. The recently opened Southland Beer—one of our favorite new bars—has put together an excellent selection of beers brewed with coffee and paired it with round, sugary selections from their Koreatown neighbor California Donuts. Kicking off at noon, they'll be offering flights of brews like Highland Park's Wakeup on nitro, Telegraph Handlebar Abbey and Left Hand Bittersweet Imperial Coffee Milk Stout. They'll also have Smog City's Coffee Porter and some last minute surprises. More info here.

Top Chef Duo at Scratch Bar & Kitchen
At the new location of Scratch Kitchen & Bar in Encino, chef Phillip Frankland Lee will share the kitchen with fellow Top Chef contestant (and front-runner) Jeremy Ford from Miami's Matador Room. The dynamic duo will be dishing up the restaurant's usual menu offerings, which includes delicious a la carte items and a few well-priced pre fixe options. Chef Ford will also be serving 2 or 3 of his own specialties as well. The open kitchen style of Scratch Bar & Kitchen also gives diners the chance to chat with the chefs.

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.
