Schwab's and Googie's on Sunset Boulevard
A shot that is unmistakably L.A.: the iconic Theme Building of the airport, built almost sixty years ago. At first the restaurant rotated, so diners would overlook the entire airport area. The restaurant is no longer in operation; the current security situation is not too compatible with a restaurant that one would have to leave the secure area for. But there is talk of building a people mover and moving a brewpub into the restaurant.

I'm very conscious of where our eggs are sourced these days, and we're very fortunate to have a number of paddock raised chickens in our district. Organic, "real" free range all the way!
