Dish of the Week: Pancakes at Sibling Rival, Los Angeles

  • December 8, 2019
  • Brad A. Johnson

Just look at these pancakes! This is not a macro shot. These pancakes at Sibling Rival in Los Angeles really are that gigantic, each one nearly two inches tall. I thought they would be super fluffy, but they turned out to be quite dense — somewhere on a scale between regular pancakes and pound cake. Heavy, yes, but also delicious. That syrup is a thick, gooey hazelnut maple brown butter. One pancake is enough for two people to share, but two pancakes makes a better photo. Ha! Couldn’t resist.

The buckwheat waffles are great, too. And the coffee is strong AF. Sibling Rival is the new all-day diner inside The Hoxton in downtown L.A.

My sincerest thanks to the North American Travel Journalists Awards!⁠ 128 19
Hey, OC. FYI in case you missed it, @ryegoods has opened a new location on Red Hill in Tustin, just down the street from Flight/Mess Hall. Same incredible breads and pastries as the original on the peninsula. No lines here, plus a huge seating area. #sourdough #pastries #coffee #orangecounty 331 9
One more post from our lovely stay at @fstokyo. Delicious lunch at @maisonmarunouchi, the casual sibling to @sezannetokyo. Excellent all around. And clearly popular with Tokyo's ladies who lunch: the clientele during our visit, almost entirely women. Quite the see-and-be-seen crowd. 66 1
I’m not sure which I liked better about the @fstokyo, the valet greeter and escort from the train station, the view of the trains from our room, or the super comfy pajamas. Excellent service all around. #Tokyo #Japan #hoteljunkie 83 3
I think @sezannetokyo ⁠has a #footfetish, and I’m ok with that. Truly fantastic lunch. Impeccable service. ⁠ 64 2
We had a really fun "Lost in Translation" moment at @meatman_roppongi. Google Translate failed hilariously. Delicious meat/fat overload anyway. Great staff, charming hospitality. Lots of sake. Thank you, @fstokyo for securing the reservation! #Tokyo #Roppongi #sake 77 1
