Location: 421 W. 8th St.Los Angeles

Major Players: Christian Page, Elia Aboumrad, and Jingbo Lou

The Situation: The team behind Cassell’s in Koreatown brought a revitalized taste of LA history to the city with the revival of a longtime strip mall burger stand into the remodeled Hotel Normandie. Well chef Christian Page and wife Elia Aboumrad, plus partner Jinbo Lou are at it again, this time bringing those fantastic burgers and patty melts to Downtown. That’s not all there is to this new location, though, with Page explaining that Cassell’s Downtown will focus on classic deli fare, with sandwiches perfect for a casual lunch and deli platters for office party catering.

Projected Opening: Mid-July 2018

Otoño

Location: 5715 N. Figueroa, Highland Park

Major Players: Teresa Montaño, Vince Nguyen

The Situation: Partners Vince Nguyen and Teresa Montaño have a likely future hit on their hands with Otoño, the incoming Highland Park Spanish restaurant that’s still in build-out mode along the hottest dining corridor in Los Angeles.

Projected Opening: July 2018

Workshop

Location: 241 Main St.El Segundo, CA

Major Player: Jackson Kalb

The Situation: It seems the South Bay always has a few exciting projects on their way, but the most notable of the bunch is likely Workshop.

And with the pizza powerhouse Il Romanista nearby, it could be the mark of exciting things to come for El Segundo.

Projected Opening: Lunch begins next week, with dinner to follow
