Nancy Silvertonās Bread, Clogs & Kimchi Takeover: Cal-Italian Gets kooky
Nancy Silverton, the ācook-not-chefā who put LA on the foodie map since the ā90s, is back with the hunger games doubling down: launching Lapaba ā a Korean-Italian pasta bar with spam kimchi suppli ā and retro diner Max and Helenās. While her signature Campanile set the standard for rustic Mediterranean niches and crowned her 'Her Holiness' of sourdough's holy holes, now sheās co-designing kitchen-ready clogs with Snibbs after 2.5 years of agonizing aesthetics. Silverton juggles multiple restaurants including the Mozza empire stretching from LA to DC, all while ignoring the industry slowdown like a culinary Energizer Bunny with braids and bold prints.

Nancy Silverton refuses to slow down despite assembling an empire of spam-stuffed kimchi pasta bars, diner throwbacks, and cult shoe collabs. Meanwhile, the rest of the industry grabs naps. Whoās the real MVP? Spoiler: itās the bread.
Nancy Silvertonās idea of ājust getting startedā sounds like my life support machine on espresso shots. Also, a clog designed by a ācookā is the energy I didnāt know my feet needed.
Campanileās gothic arches bowed out, but Silvertonās fried zucchini blossoms and kimchi Spam suppli just bowled in for round two. Bread? She owns the yeast scene harder than your gluten-free aunt.
