Mac & Cheeza Preview

Mac & Cheeza, a soon-to-open LA eatery that specializes in the classic comfort food and offers vegan alternatives, hosted a sampling last week for hundreds of Downtown Art Walk attendees to preview its menu. The counter-service restaurant, co-owned by downtown residents Larkin Mackie and Josh McBride, allows diners to create customized dishes. Veg selections include various macaroni noodles (with a gluten-free, rice-noodle option), soy cheese, veggie sausage, spicy toasted-walnut topping, and an array of vegetables, including mushrooms, black olives, jalapenos, tomatoes, collard greens, and scallions. Mac & Cheeza’s grand opening will contribute to LA’s continued downtown revitalization.
