We are SO proud to take part in the inaugural RE:Her festival to support women in LA restaurants! The festival runs from January 21st through January 30th and is represented by some of the best chefs in Los Angeles, indeed in the entire country. Please set aside a meal or two in the coming 10 days to take part; not only will you be supporting an amazing organization you will be magnificently fed by the top chefs in the city. Our own meal is based on Lene's upbringing in the ...Danish countryside which we're are calling "If/Then". Food memories are often some of the fondest, and this Danish Smørgasbord dinner for 2 is absolutely one. Gravlax, Smoked Icelandic Cod, Danish meatballs (frikedeller), roasted pork loin, egg salad with pickled trout, home made rugbrød, cauliflower soup, market greens, almond cake and more... a true Danish country table and and exploration of the signature flavors of Scandinavia. Reserve yours on OpenTable and while you're there, make plans to support another chef or two (or 10!) during the festival. RE:Her is a great organization, and one you will feel as proud to support as we are! https://www.regardingherfood.com//open-face-food-shop-dani #openfacefoodshop #putapickleonit #farmersmarket #westadams #healthyeating #midcity #danish #bestsandwiches #sandwichshop #regardingherfoodLA #SaveHerRestaurants See more

OK, for those of you we stumped today in our farmers market Explorer Boxes, say thank you to our friends at Thao farms for these beautiful Thai guavas! They should be ready to eat in a day or so. So aromatic! Don’t forget, we now have mid week fill in boxes so you don’t run out of greens, beautiful fruit boxes, and a whole bunch of new cheeses! Thank you all for your incredible support, and we hope to see you soon!... #putapickleonit #farmersmarket #westadams #healthyeating #midcity #danish #bestsandwiches #sandwichshop#thaofarms #thehfm

There's something serene and beautiful about our little kitchen in the morning. Before the ovens and the exhaust fans are on, before the stove gets hot or the pots, pans and printers start clanging and whirring... the early morning winter light slants in through the front window and it's so quiet... Soon it will be filled with the steam heat from the dishwasher, with the hiss of hot pans and the sharp knock of knives on cutting boards that ride beneath the chatter of our grea...t team and the groaning laughter of a really bad joke, probably told by me. Another day making food with love and skill, and that's how it should be. Rest a little, work really hard then a little more rest. Our kitchen breathes in that way, and this time of day is the exhale. Time to inhale. See you for lunch :-) -Mark and Lene #putapickleonit #farmersmarket #westadams #healthyeating #midcity #danish #bestsandwiches #sandwichshop

Individual almond cakes just out of the oven and our brand new gluten-free peanut butter cookies, too! The kitchen smells AMAZING, my diet’s in trouble but I don’t care. Worth it! Stop by for some beautiful Joshua Tree coffee and a little somethin’ special on this cloudy fall day!#openfacefoodshop #putapickleonit #farmersmarket #westadams #healthyeating #midcity #danish #bestsandwiches

As our summer canning run draws to a close we thought we would share this with you. It made us smile. This is how many Peters Honey figs we put in jars for the new menu (and for all of you). That doesn’t include Mission or Osborn figs :-) We also did over 400 pounds of peaches of five different varieties from 3 different farms, 300 pounds of plums of four different varieties, 5 hot sauces, 2 tomato sauces and ENDLESS pickles...

So excited! Birds Eye Chilis, fresh garlic, Tellicherry pepper corn, bay leaf, vinegar, a pinch of sugar.... I can't wait! I just have to keep telling myself "2 weeks and it will be done, just 2 more weeks". We promise to share when we get the restaurant back open (closer every day!). OMG... I am going to put this on EVERYTHING!! ... See you all soon! Mark and Lene and the whole OFFS team #openfacefoodshop #mysummerjam #westadams #farmersmarket #freshandlocal #putapickleonit

Champion pickle flippers Lene and Esteban show their nimble wrist work prepping the Bird’s Eye Chili vinegar with garlic and bayleaf. These beautiful fresh chilies have a sweet fruitiness followed by a serious, bright heat like a Thai chili, although not quite as intense. It will take a couple weeks for them to be ready but when they are... WooHoo!!:-)

To celebrate our second anniversary as a restaurant, we wanted to share some thing a little different. Our mission has always been to serve our community. and now a big part of our business has become helping feed you at home and helping our local farmers get through their own unique challenges. We thought it would be fun to take a look inside the lovingly hard work of putting together our farmers market boxes every Sunday. No matter what comes next, everyone has responded s...o positively to this program that we will try to keep it going regardless. Helping people have regular, safe access to the greatest farmers on the planet, to explore cooking with their families, and supporting their own community is an unexpected blessing during these exciting times :-) We will be reopening for daily service soon, so watch this space for updates and keep yourself safe until we see you again!
