There have been some new developments in Westside dining. Cardinale du Vin in Pico Robertson has a new coffee residency that is open from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday. It is called Patchwerke Coffee, and it is marvelous. I stopped by today and had a great drink called Where’s Noah, which is a reference to the One Cedar drink, Where’s Nicely.
A cappuccino-sized coffee that is topped with freshly grated cinnamon, and yes, that does make a big difference, with orange essence, was so good that I ended up doing the coffee cup version of licking the plate. I used my finger to scrape out every last drop. You can find Patchwerke at 8912 W Pico Boulevard.

After having an incredibly tasty lasagna from Chef Diego Argoti at Estrano’s residency at Skyduster Beer, located at 1124 San Julian, on the wet Friday the 13th night, Argoti released the menu for his NFL Cookout on Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. He refers to it as “cooking for me and inviting y’all.”
On the menu will be these amazing brand-new dishes: Dino Rib Cachetada, meant for two, with grilled bone-in short rib, flour tortillas, torpedo onion rajas, pomegranate salsa macha, and Weiser Farms potatoes; Wagyu Zambuton Vampiro, with grilled sirloin, queso Chihuahua, refried red lentils, hibiscus pickled onions, chili crisp, and fried basil; and a chicory snap pea salad with winter chicories, pomegranates, Fuyu persimmons, white balsamic vinegar, Thai basil, and crunchy garlic. Brown butter Butternut squash with grilled Weiser Farms baby butternut, brown butter, pistachio, hot honey, and Parmesan cheese.

Pa’s Biscuitisserie is back at Couplet Coffee, this time at the coffee bar’s Santa Monica location at 525 Santa Monica Blvd from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. If you missed the biscuit event at Bergamont Station, this is your chance to find out why people came to a meal that consisted only of Nick Westbrooke’s biscuits.
You can look forward to biscuits with butter and jam, and likely the B.E.C., bacon, egg, and cheddar biscuit breakfast sandwich, but you can always just eat one without any trimmings because they really are that good, and Couplet’s coffee, which I am looking forward to trying.

Artelice Patisserie has added two pumpkin-centric Thanksgiving desserts: a pumpkin Basque cheesecake and a buttery pumpkin tart with a spiced pumpkin filling and light vanilla whipped ganache. Artelice calls it a tart, but it does resemble a taco, and it looks marvelous.
For everyone ready for Thanksgiving pumpkin-based desserts from one of LA’s best bakeries, here are two great choices. Artelice is located at 11301 W Olympic Blvd., Ste 123.
