Cole's P.E. Buffet – American
Step into a storied piece of Los Angeles history where dim lighting and polished mahogany evoke the timeless, moody charm of a classic downtown saloon. The air is thick with the savory aroma of slow-braised meats, from tender lamb to salt-cured pastrami, each tucked into crusty rolls and served alongside bowls of rich, steaming jus for the ultimate dip. A signature neon-pink spicy pickled egg provides a sharp, tangy snap that perfectly rounds out this quintessential, soul-warming dining experience.
