Spinach Quesadilla from Cha Cha Chicken

Buffalo Mozzarella and Bresaola from Obica
https://www.instagram.com/p/BOj6N9ng6A8/“This is how I like to eat. Good quality cheese, meat, and bread. My husband and I sit at the counter and watch them prepare simple food, and the staff is super friendly.” Westfield Century City, 10250 Santa Monica Blvd., Ste. 206, Century City
Cheeseburger from Forma
