Hello r/FoodLosAngeles!
First, I am sorry, I have a bit of a problem with going "Hey, this is going smoothly and I can handle it. Lets do more!" and then I get overwhelmed until I figure it all out, then it goes smoothly and I go "time for more!!!" it honestly drives my wife insane! So I am sorry I wont be making it out to South Bay this Saturday. I promise I will get out there soon!
This past week has all been about developing my cinnamon roll recipe and I am VERY proud of it! I made apple cider out of real apples, some citrus juice and zest, a few herbs and spices. I then concentrated it down a bit and any time I would need water or milk in the recipe, I use the apple cider. I browned the butter and being brioche, there's a lot of it! Flavored it with my handmade double fold bourbon vanilla extract. For the filling, cooked down some granny smith apples, browned more butter, then used brown sugar, freshly ground cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg. The icing uses some caramelized sugar, some of the strained, browned bits from more browned butter and then more of the handmade apple cider.
The food:
LA Cheesesteaks, smoked beef short rib, smoked and confit beef cheeks, onions, bell peppers, garlic and cheddar cheese on freshly baked, handmade rolls, with a handmade beef jus dipping sauce for $10, or 2 for $18.
Of note. the bread is VASTLY improved from what I started with. I would love to serve you a new and improved LA Cheesesteak, if you haven't had one in a while (or if you have, too!).
Dessert:
Browned Butter Apple Cider Brioche Cinnamon Rolls – $3
Location:
Sunday: My (slightly) new location right in front of Barnsdall Art Park on Hollywood and N Berendo st from 12 to 6 (or until we sell out)

Also, HUGE shoutout to u/elizabeth_strano for some absolutely stunning food photography, I am in LOVE with her work. She is also a lovely human being to work with
