Rashida Jones in Los Angeles Magazine

Craig’s on Melrose

Finally went to Craig’s. Loved the vibe of the place. Craig Susser, Dan Tana’s maitre d’ for over twenty years, recently opened the place with a great mixed menu of homemade pastas, wood-fired pizza, crab cakes, garlic bread, Jalapeño creamed corn and fried chicken.
