We've been calling North Hollywood home for about a year now.
Matt lived here-- back in the day, when us being together seemed like some far flung dream that could never come to fruition. There were just too many miles between us. But, of course, he sacked up, packed up, and moved to Boston for me in 2009. The rest, as they say, is history.

Except when we came west and started looking for a place, Matt was astounded and ecstatic to see what had become of his old neighborhood. Instead of one shady bar amid a stretch of thrift shops and car dealerships, in the seven or so years he was gone, so many establishments have opened their doors and welcomed in locals. One of the first places we discovered was EAT. I think I'd just come home from a business trip and was ravaged one morning, and hellbent on finding some sort of smoked salmon to put in my gullet. A cursory Google search revealed a few bagel places way too many minutes away-- and EAT, right on Magnolia. And they had other things like "scrambles" and omelets for my gluten-free fiance. Sold.



Since that initial trip for takeout, Matt and I have fallen in love with EAT. Whenever we travel, and awake to an empty fridge the next day, this is where we head. When we have friends in town, we take a momentary hiatus from boozing (no alcohol at EAT. But so worth the momentary sobriety) and bring them to our favorite spot for breakfast. Below are some of our favorite dishes, over a few various trips to EAT. I think my all-time favorite is the breakfast sandwich (not pictured, naturally) followed closely by Matt's usual of the machaca con huevos. Below is a few of their sandwiches, the delectable corned beef and hash, the buffalo asparagus omelette, and the aforementioned machaca. If you're in the valley, this place is not to be missed.
