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.
