Review: Make Yourself at Home at Acres, a True Neighborhood Spot
The scene unfolding at a little table by the window wouldn’t have surprised me in a high-end restaurant or wine bar. But I was at Acres, a neighborhood spot so humble it could pass for a small-town barbecue joint. Black-and-white photos of barns and windmills hang above tables made of repurposed 2x6s.

Madeleine Brand Ryan Orange Silver Lake | Madeleine Brand, host of KCRW's Press PlayWhen you meet Roe Sie (pronounced "Roo See"), it's hard not to be swept away by his relentlessly upbeat can-do-ism. I met him at his house socially a while ago, and first he eagerly showed me his chickens (OK, normal — it's Silver Lake), then he explained how he makes his own bread (again, normal: Silver Lake). Every day. And he mills his own grain to make the bread. We capped off the tour with a visit to his homegrown tilapia farm, which is somehow connected to the chickens because their poop goes to feed the greens, which feed the fish. I left feeling — well — lazy. … [Read more...] about 28 Notable Angelenos Share Their Favorite Neighborhood Spots
