The West Adams restaurant Alta Adams reopens with a sliding price scale so people in need can dine for free
.) The second is a “family meal” with the sliding scale option — diners are given discount codes and can choose to pay $20, $10, $5 or zero per meal — which will focus on the grain bowls Corbin has been developing for his second restaurant, Louella’s Cali Soul Kitchen.Chefs Keith Corbin, left, and Daniel Patterson are reopening their Alta Adams restaurant, with takeout and groceries available.
“This will be an opportunity for us to do recipe development and for us to get a sense of what people think about the dishes,” Corbin said of the family meals. Louella’s, which is going into Culver City’s Citizen Public Market, is now on hold indefinitely due to the COVID-19 crisis. Takeout add-ons will include cocktails, beer and wine, as well as a grocery section including staples such as flour, eggs, butter, rice, milk — and, yes, toilet paper. Corbin and Patterson are also reopening Adams Coffee Shop, the little cafe next door to the restaurant. There, folks can get coffee as well as pick up the takeout meals and groceries. Boxes of fresh produce from the farmers market the chefs frequent will also be available.
“You have a community that can’t get out much,” Corbin said of the city’s stay-at-home order. “We’re looking to bring the product to the neighborhood.” The grocery component will rebuild slowly, and the Alta At Home menu will gradually expand to include new dishes. “It gives me life again,” said Corbin, who with his crew cooked a fried chicken feast for the nurses at Cedars-Sinai last week. “I get to get back in the kitchen.”Get our weekly Tasting Notes newsletter for reviews, news and more from critics Bill Addison and Patricia Escárcega.
