All Day Baby (CLOSED)

Always packed and always delicious, this Silver Lake eatery is the modern diner of our dreams. Run by Lien Ta of Here’s Looking at You and founded by the late chef Jonathan Whitener, All Day Baby offers chef-driven takes on American comfort foods like their famous biscuit sandwich smothered with strawberry jam and their blueberry- and pistachio-topped hotcakes. While the menu is rather small by brunch standards, they’re never afraid to get adventurous. Smoked longanisa sausage in their burrito? Perfection. To round out the all-day indulgence, there’s also a selection of amazing baked goods, including standout pies and a rotating weekly cake slice. Go ahead and get the negroni float or the boozy milkshake; you’ve got the time to linger.
