Because only a crass heathen would give you a list of the 10 best restaurant openings of 2014 in LA, here are... 11!
Grand Central Market
Downtown
Is it cheating to name-check Downtown's GCM -- which has been there since before you were born even if you're a certain Thrillist editor's Grandma Connie -- rather than just one of the many killer stalls that opened there this year? Yes, yes it is. Do we care? No! No we don't! A few favorites though: the smoked fish platter and insanely good pastrami at Wexler's, the bivalves at Oyster Gourmet, and the burger at Belcampo Meat Co... and we're missing, like, eight other equally good stalls, but that should get you started.
Let's stay in touch! We'll keep you posted on events, new vendor openings, special offers, seasonal activities, and all the rest. Don't worry: we won't go crazy with the messages—once a week, max—and we'll never share your email with any other party.
