Manhattan Beach Post

With the weekend on the horizon, I have brunch on the brain! Delightful springtime weather always brings out my urge to take mini foodie day-trips -- and Manhattan Beach Post is precisely the type of restaurant that's worth a little bit of a drive to the South Bay. The seasonal dishes from chef and owner David LeFevre give the perfect nod to the easy-going, beach community vibes, and the broad menu's incredible variety is ideal for sharing (I'll never turn down trying biscuits, dumplings, and a chimichanga in the same meal!).
