Paying our respects 1 last time. The Saugus Cafe is the oldest restaurant in Los Angeles County (And it’s in our neighborhood!) Established in 1886, is closing this weekend, after almost 140 years of operation. There go the best hashbrowns in Santa Clarita. Thank you for a few lifetimes of service!

Etruscan Testarolli! (The pasta whose name made us all giggle.) It's purportedly Italy's first pasta from around 700 BCE. Topped by a homemade pesto, walnuts, and shaved pecorino. Oh, and yes, that is a homemade rustic Italian loaf on the side. Yum!
