YOUR GOOD GUY TO KNOW
Brett Cranston, Restaurateur
F Foodies take note: Cranston is one of the cats behind Silverlake’s killer one-two culinary punch, Sawyer (you’re getting the Spanish octopus) and Kettle Black (you’re getting the wood-fired polpette pizza). Whether visiting or a resident, both of these should be getting crossed off your dinner date list tout de suite.
When it comes to warm-weather suiting, light in weight is all well and good, but it’s when you start getting into light colors that you’re really cooking with petrol. Khaki (fun fact: from the Persian Khâk, literally meaning “soil-colored”) not only plays with just about every damn color on the wheel, but is also versatile enough to transition from your office rotation right into the weekend.
YOUR GO-TO WATERING HOLE?
“
Jones is my Cheers — drenched in low lighting, exposed brick and rock n’ roll. After everything, it’s the staff and friendships that keep this one in heavy rotation. ET, Matt, Kilby … I’ve put in some miles with them.

LOOK ONE
BEST DRIVEABLE GETAWAY?
“
Haven’t done it in years and years, but the coastal drive up to the Bay Area through San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Big Sur, etc. It’s hard to keep your eyes on the road.

LOOK TWO
BEST DATE SPOT YOU’D RECOMMEND?
“
Who has time to date in LA? But I imagine Pacé — has a nice escape-the-city feel tucked up Laurel Canyon. Otherwise somewhere with a nice patio. Everywhere should have a patio in this town. Can we make that a rule moving forward?
