Don Cornelius, host of
Soul Train and proponent of gratuitous collars, is no longer with us. But there’s a new variety show in town filled with local color, funky music, and eclectic guests.
Do the Hustle to WeHo's new diner,
Kitchen 24.
It's double the size of their Cahuenga space, complete with the neapolitan-colored booths, disco fries, and — yes — those
Fat Elvis bacon cupcakes.
And they're still specializing in diner staples made to the highest quality, from Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey to a
thick, powdered sugar-dusted Monte Cristo with black forest ham and maple syrup dip.
Recognizing that "after-hours" should apply to dining
and drinking, Kitchen 24 is stocked with 37 beers (including
Hawaiian Coconut Porter and Mama’s Little Yellow Pills from Colorado).
They've got plenty of cocktails, too.
Channel Meg Ryan with I’ll Have What She’s Having (42 Passion Vodka, amaretto, pineapple juice, and coconut milk) or go for
the MGMT-approved Ooooh Girl (Cake vodka, pineapple juice, strawberry puree, and whipped cream).
Coffee has its own bar too, percolating perk-ups from Commissary’s Tyler King.
And if you perk up to the sounds of bumping bass, DJs on the weekends have you covered.
As always in parting, we wish you love, peace and soul.
