The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen is now open on the west coast, at Common Studios Hollywood CityWalk.
The massive, two story cylindrical constructing that after housed the Exhausting Rock Cafe now’s steampunk-themed, boasting a large clockwork marquee, many enormous rotating gears, and towering 97-foot smokestacks. Inside friends now will discover the massive restaurant, with a present store and nicely stocked sweet/macaron counter.
The Toothsome restaurant menu is available in an enormous leather-bound guide, and opens to the story of Professor Physician Penelope Tibeaux-Tinker Toothsome and her robotic sidekick, Jacques, who’s fueled by chocolate. The brief, fever dream of a backstory leaves a whole lot of questions up within the air, however the employees was comfortable to fill in much more. Penelope is the fictional founding father of the restaurant, and she or he created the chocolate emporium as a way of reconnecting along with her mother and father, who’ve turn out to be misplaced of their travels by time. She is certain that, resulting from their mutual love of chocolate, the creation of such an enormous emporium will function a beacon and finally reunite them.
They virtually misplaced me there, however reeled me again in with the very decadent milkshakes. There’s a enormous milkshake bar, with about 13 totally different milkshake concoctions to select from. I opted for a purple velvet, which was very fairly and got here topped with a whole cupcake. It is a fabulous picture op, and fairly good-tasting shake (and cupcake).
Meals choices are plentiful [including chocolate almond bread with salted caramel butter, coffee and chocolate stout wings, braised short rib with cheddar grits and a cocoa gremolata, half-pound burgers, flatbreads, pastas, salads… and brunch all day], and the menu consists of massive, high-quality images of every dish, which felt very useful. The savory meals was good however undoubtedly not the spotlight. An array of candy cocktails and desserts steal the present; in any case it is a chocolate emporium. The chocolate crème brûlée was scrumptious, and the drinks had been extraordinarily sturdy and candy (method with warning).
Penelope and Jack wander from desk to desk interacting with friends and improv-ing little songs, which creates a chaotic atmosphere that pairs properly with the inevitable sugar rush and/or alcohol buzz. Your entire restaurant is an fascinating mix of childlike flavors and brown, industrial decor, tied collectively by an insane backstory that entertains regardless of its disjointed tone.
Lean into the chaos of all of it, and it’s positive to be enjoyable for the entire household.
