Like many West Hollywood residents on a warm and sunny afternoon, my friend Carrie was craving brunch at Urth Cafe. I too like Urth, but today I wasn’t much in the mood to stand in line, order my food at a counter, then rush to find an empty table. Today I was in the mood to be greeted, sat at a nice table, followed by time browsing a menu, order being taken, and food served to me, all while sitting at my nice lovely outdoor table.
So fitting it was that I suggested Le Pain Quotidien which was just a block away. Since Carrie had never been there before, it was perfect! Le Pain Quotidien has a variety of tartines on their menu, so today I am going to share this lovely, and delicious Ricotta Fig Tartine Recipe with you.
