Eating Adventures in Los Angeles, Part II: Connie & Ted’s, RiceBar, Apple Pan and Shake Shack
A fun place to indulge your cravings for seafood.
Connie & Ted’s
Chef Michael Cimarusti has the utmost reverence for seafood. After all, his haute Providence has won every acclaim imaginable for its attention to seafood.
Now comes Connie & Ted’s, a West Hollywood seafood joint at the other end of the spectrum, a modern-day clam shack that treats seafood with equal esteem but in a much more laid-back atmosphere.
On a sunny day (which of course is most every day in Los Angeles), there’s no better place to be.
A mid-century-modern look at Connie & Ted’s.
A trio of chowders.
Clam bellies and perfect onion rings.
There are three chowders on the menu: New England, Manhattan, and Rhode Island. The best part is you can get a sampler of all three ($11), which comes with baby doll-sized oyster crackers.
