On Jan. 30, 2014, Nancy Silverton, center, cut the ribbon during the grand opening of the La Brea Bakery restaurant. Flanked by then-City Council president Herb Wesson, left, and the late former City Councilman Tom LaBonge, Silverton welcomed patrons into the restaurant at La Brea Avenue and Sixth Street. La Brea Bakery closed the restaurant on Jan. 9, along with a location at Downtown Disney, after announcing plans that the company will focus on its artisanal breads sold in grocery stores and retail outlets.
