Take Out L.A.: Where do go for a semi-homemade dinner
There are plenty of savory focaccia breads ($6.95-$8.95) that can be split for a light dinner for two, if served alongside some leftovers, salad greens or a cup of soup. ( Rene Lynch / Los Angeles Times)
My favorite? The Greco, topped with black olives, feta crumbles and za’atar seasonings. This focaccia bread is more cracker than flatbread -- with a crispy interior and a chewy crust. (Rene Lynch / Los Angeles Times)
Another dinner time option is the assortment of borek -- flaky, savory filled pastries. These are huge and can easily be shared by two for dinner. Prices range from $6.95 to $8.95. (Rene Lynch / Los Angeles Times)
Just gently reheat the borek in a toaster oven until warm throughout. (Rene Lynch / Los Angeles Times)
Here’s a closer look at the interior of this borek, stuffed with spinach and feta. (Rene Lynch / Los Angeles Times)
Bread Lounge is located off a busy intersection at the foot of one of downtown L.A.’s famed bridges. As a result, it can be easy to miss. A sign is usually placed at the corner to catch your eye and direct you to the small parking lot in the back. Drive slowly. It’s tight quarters. (Rene Lynch / Los Angeles Times)
