At the invitation of LA.com's Laurie Pike (thanks, Laurie!), Maria and I made it to the online city guide's final "Champagne Catwalk" this past Saturday.
The four consecutive Saturday events celebrated up and coming local designers, featuring a short show during brunch at Silver Lake's El Cid restaurant. The designer we saw, We Are Lucid Dreaming, has just launched a clothing line available at Scout Los Angeles.
The show also gave us a chance to finally check out El Cid, which is designed to replicate a 16th century Spanish tavern. The restaurant, located on the site of Hollywood's first sound stage (built in 1900 by D.W. Griffith), offers flamenco shows on weekend evenings and a jazz brunch on Sundays.
For the champagne lunch, Maria ordered the Cajun Shrimp Omelette (with blackened shrimp cream cheese and Cantimplitos sauce) while I got the popular Chicken Sombreros (two sombrero crepes filled with sauteed strips of chicken breast, monterey jack cheddar cheese and Seville dressing; topped with sour cream and guacamole).
