Dunsmoor is the best restaurant in Glassell Park and it's not close
Dunsmoor at 3108 Glendale Boulevard in Glassell Park does American cooking with a Southern lean and it does it correctly. Chef Brian Dunsmoor is smoking brisket and making proper side dishes with the kind of commitment to technique that most restaurants skip because it takes too long.
The smoked brisket arrives tender in the specific way that only happens after hours at the right temperature. The fried chicken has the crust that is the whole point of fried chicken. The vegetable sides, the greens, the beans, whatever is seasonal, are not afterthoughts. This is the kind of restaurant that pulls people from Eagle Rock, Highland Park, Silver Lake, and Atwater Village specifically because there's nowhere else in the immediate area doing this kind of food this well.
