Question box: Is Lot 1 ever open?

Lot1 gets signage and outdoor seating

Reader Catherine asks, "Hi there - I keep driving by Lot 1 in Echo Park and it appears to be closed. What's going on? Thanks for your insight."
Answer: I'm not sure that Lot 1 has decided on a permanent schedule yet, but it does appear to be open for dinner most nights. Tuesday night, there were a few tables occupied at 7:00 but no one eating outside, so it looks like there shouldn't be a problem getting a table on a weeknight.
The L.A. Times food section gives Lot 1 chef Josef Centeno front-page treatment today, complete with a video on making your own bacos. Eating L.A. has decided to give Lot 1 a bit more time to mature but will surely try it soon.

Apparently they're open for lunch too, where they'll be featuring "bacos".
I'm very excited to try making bacos myself. I try and cook up at least 1 recipe a week from the Times food section to see how they turn out.
Thanks for the post.

I had wonderful dinner here. Went back the next weekend with friends and... they were closed. On a Saturday. At 7:30. Huh. I'll try again, but that's no way to develop a following.
