bld

bld (breakfast lunch dinner) is located at 7450 Beverly Blvd. LA CA 90036. This meal starts with my reconnection with performance artist Anna Homler. She is divine and amazing. I worked with her once 20+ years ago at the Women's Building along with artist Joyce Wexler and art critic the late Joan Hugo. Anna and I just reconnected and are working on our second collaboration now and this was to be our second meeting about our piece. Anna lives blocks away from bld and when we walked in Tuesday evening, the whole place was lit by her charm. It was like that musical/movie Hello Dolly. It was quite late, in fact they were about to close the kitchen. We wanted hot chocolate but ended up ordering a few plates of amazing munchies. I had a tuna dish and a banana cream pie. Anna ordered the apple tartar. bld is in fact like Anna's dining room. She comes her all the time and it's no wonder. This is a treasure of a place. The menu of homemade delights is fantastic. For instance, my banana cream pie was through and through signature. The crust was a chocolaty cookie like crust, the cream freshly whipped and the banana's were perfectly ripe and cut. The whole thing was a work of art.
