Everyone is in a hurry these days - lunch hours are often more like 30-minute sprints, and it’s often difficult to eat healthy and eat fast. Fast food restaurants seem like a convenient choice, but are calorie-laden and lack nutritious value. With SKRATCH restaurant, you get the best of both worlds: wholesome food that is delicious, and perfect for when you need to stop in and grab a quick meal.
SKRATCH owner Jeffrey Price uses top-quality, locally-sourced ingredients for its menu, which offers delicious, locally-sourced food in gourmet flavor combinations, such as the Hot Braised Pulled Pork sandwich with fig & white grape compote and truffle oil vinaigrette and the Wild Mushroom Brie soup, made incredibly rich with the brie cheese, yet earthy with the taste of fresh mushrooms. Vegetarian options such as the Caprese with basil pistou and the Ripe and Raw with cannellini bean hummus and fresh avocado are also available. The sandwiches are made with fresh-baked La Brea bakery bread, and each menu entrée can be made as a wrap, sandwich, or salad ($6.95). View full menu here.
In addition, SKRATCH is a “green” restaurant and uses all biodegradable, organic packaging. All products are recycled or composted to create virtually no waste.
So the next time you’re about to head towards the drive-thru for a burger, scratch that idea and try a healthier, gourmet Chipotle Chicken sandwich or Mediterranean Tuna salad at SKRATCH instead - trust us, you won’t regret it.
SKRATCH is located at 3867 Hughes Avenue, Culver City, 90232 (at Washington and Hughes). Web: www.skratchbasics.com
