📍 Los Angeles American/Wood-fire $$$

at Hatchet Hall

"Brian Dunsmoor's wood-roasted chicken at Hatchet Hall is the best argument for cooking over almond wood in Los Angeles — the smoke is gentle, the skin is crisp, and the ember-roasted root vegetables underneath absorb the chicken juices in a way that no oven can replicate."
