Fodor's Expert Review Shook

$$ Entertainment District Brunch

"Shook" means market in Hebrew, and the quality and creativity of the chefs will get your taste buds dancing. Weekday brunch apps like the kibbeh (stuffed buckwheat dumplings) create a minimalist explosion for the senses, plated with truffle honey and sour labneh. Heavily-spiced veggie shawarmas, like the celeriac (that has a three-day prep process) come served on stand-up trays, and classic breakfast shakshouka arrives piping hot in a cast-iron pan with pita for you to scoop up the smoky, soupy mixture of eggs and a bushel of blistered sour cherry tomatoes.
