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.

For more travel inspiration and photos, I invite you to follow me and join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
