Red Hill

Echo Park was once known as Red Hill back before Dubya Dubya Two because of the unusually large concentration of political radicals. Once again bringing Communism back to to the neighborhood is Red Hill. Nothing over $20 on the menu? Come on, that sounds downright state-run. The menu is the result of battle royal between owner and veg-lover Jason Michaud and chef Trevor Rocco. This means that you’ll find Roman Artichokes, Mint and Garlic alongside Roasted Bone Marrow with Shallots, Pickled Garlic and Watercress. The space is as casual as it gets with wooden tables and chairs, some bar seating, and walls adorned with jars of house-made pickles.
