The mere mention of
"the Valley" is enough to make a person cringe. It is too hot, too
congested and not exactly the geographic location where LA hot spots are found.
But for every rule, there is an exception, and in the case of the Valley, The
Local Peasant restaurant is just that. Located on Ventura Blvd in Sherman
Oaks, this bar/restaurant not only has an extensive beer list but the food
itself is reason enough to brave those horrible Valley demons.

| Tempura Onion Rings, The Peasant Sliders, Peach Salad, Mac n' Cheese |
Ordering at the restaurant was difficult
because everything sounded so damn good. After consulting with our waiter, we
decided on the items pictured above along with the Bacon Deviled Eggs appetizer
(the star dish of the evening and a must-get). Everything we ordered was
fantastic. The onion rings were light, airy and not greasy at all. The peach
salad was sweet and refreshing. The mac n' cheese was creamy, but not heavy,
and infused with bacon. The sliders were made of pulled pork, cole slaw and the
restaurant's special sauce. The flavors combined beautifully, creating
the perfect balance of sweet, savory and crunchy. Lastly, we ordered the
berry cobbler for dessert. I highly recommend every dish we ordered but also
can't wait to try every other item on the menu. The Local Peasant is a perfect
spot for your Thursday night. The vibe is cool, the food is good and the beer
is smooth.
