Square One Dining - a GREAT restaurant in Los Angeles.

Square One has become my favorite breakfast in LA*, bar none.

This is the lemon thyme chicken sausage omelette, stone ground grits with applewood smoked bacon and cheddar and a side of whole grain toast. it is simple, fresh and absolutely delicious. The omlette is flecked inside with roasted tomatoes, bringing an earthy counterpoint to the lemony thyme sausage.

This place is based on the premise that "natural is always best and basic is not a trend." Square One proves one of the the central premises of organic; that minimal interference produces the best tasting and most exciting food. Their whole food, organic, locally sourced, hormone free aesthetic makes my friend David cringe, (his diet is deliberately and willfully the opposite of all of that.)

It is nestled behind the Scientology Center - on Fountain Ave near the corner of L Ron Hubbard Way. (No, I'm not kidding - that is the name of the street.) The location also makes for great "only in LA" people watching.

If you like real food respectfully prepared - pay this place several visits.
