Grand Central Market has become the
best of both worlds-a lively local hangout and a showcase of some of the best
food in town. Case in point is the new
addition of Bombo, part fresh fish market, part broth based diner, featuring
healthy quickly-prepared dishes. Cool
concept in and of itself, but helmed by
legendary chef Mark Peel (Spago, Campanile, La Brea Bakery Tar Pit) you know
you are in good hands. The name“Bombo,” is inspired by the steel-jacketed
steam kettles used to prepare the dishes. Bombo’s open kitchen with stainless
steel counter and six steam kettles and
comfy red upholstered stools provide
a singular opportunity to see the man
ply his craft. While the menu is focused
on seafood entrees such as seared yellowtail and steamed mussels, there are
meat and vegetable options as well, like
Fried Chicken, Pork Pot Stickers, Braised
Beef Short Rib, and Spicy Red and Green
Coleslaw. Bombo stays open until 9 p.m.
Thursday – Saturday, so if grabbing lunch
at GCM is not easily done, check it out
after work some time.
