Joan's on Third
Since this past weekend was rained out = no work for me, I decided to take a daytrip up to LA to visit my friend Candice. For lunch, we were both in the mood to try something new, but it seemed as though the only suggestions we could offer each other were to places that either she or myself had already been to.
Since we were on our way to LACMA (which inevitably was cancelled) we decided to cruise 3rd St. to see if we would come across anything interesting. There were the usual spots such as the 1-hour wait Toast, and my all-time favorite Doughboys, which seems to have been shut down for the time being. Fortunately we came across a little place called Joan's on Third.
Perhaps Joan's on Third is an institution in LA - I sure as hell didn't know that stepping in. But once I had a chance to walk around a little bit and had a chance to enjoy my food, I wondered why I've never been here before. Best way to describe Joan's on Third is that it's a small and quaint gourmet marketplace with a solid selection of cheese, wine, sandwiches, salads, and all those tasty-looking packaged goods that you would only find in an overseas market.
Here's a look at some of the food we had for lunch:

Beet salad w/ Walnuts and (...)cheese i forget. 
VENETIAN COPPA SALAME with provolone & olive paste 
PRESSED CHICKEN, BACON & BRIE with carmelized onions on French baguette
Scallion Pancake w/ Hoisin Sauce
We finished our meal with a coconut cupcake, which was good but couldn't compete with the Affogato (vanilla bean gelato w/ a shot of chilled espresso). Definitely a winner in my book.
