Pete's Cafe and Bar

My mom and I ran around LA yesterday after work and stopped into Pete's Cafe and Bar.



Pete's has great downtown historic charm with the tile floors, dark wood and exposed ceiling. I love seeing the beams and pipes running overhead.



They also have a nice bar and are open to 2 am. B used to live walking distance from this restaurant.

Days like this I really miss living in LA. We loved all the access to amazing restaurants open at all hours.

Can you believe we used to go out to eat at 1 am when we got off work? Its not uncommon for there to be restaurants that are open until 3 or 4 am.



I went to the restroom and when I got back mom had decided what we were going to have. We usually split two entrees.

This is the Ahi Tuna Sandwich.

I love how they stack them up.



Seared rare ahi steak, daikon sprouts, mixed greens tossed in a sesame rice wine vinaigrette which added a bit of sweetness and wasabi mayonaise with just the tiniest bit of heat all on toasted herb focaccia bread with a side of taro chips.

It was soooooo good.



How cute are these light fixtures?! You could totally make those and sell them on Etsy for a huge profit. You could.



This is the Grilled Chicken Sandwich.

Can you see how juicy the chicken is?

Its topped with Provolone cheese, sauteed spinach, kalamata olives, sultanas (which are a type of white seedless grape/raisin- see the fun things we learn!) and a ginger curry aioli.

So delicious!

Oh but I saved the best for last.

Blue.Cheese.Fries.

Creamy. Decadent. Healthy (because it has tomatoes on top)

I think we know how I feel about blue cheese... how do you feel about blue cheese?
