Bread Head, the focaccia sandwich shop from former Trois Mec chefs Alex Williams and Jordan Snyder<\/a>, will expand to the Valley this December with a location at the Village at Topanga in Woodland Hills. Snyder and Williams initially launched Bread Head as a pop-up before opening the sandwich shop\u2019s first permanent location in Santa Monica in 2024. Since then, the focaccia specialist has expanded to Manhattan Beach and Westwood Village.<\/p>\n

In Woodland Hills, diners can expect Bread Head\u2019s classic lineup of sandwiches served on its flaky homemade bread that falls somewhere between focaccia and ciabatta with a springy interior and crisp crust. The Grinder, one of the shop\u2019s signatures, gets stacked with salami cotto, hot coppa, smoked ham, and provolone, while the mozzarella tucks fresh mozzarella into a sandwich with avocado, alfalfa sprouts, pickled red onion, and za\u2019atar spread. The new location will also offer indoor seating, televisions, beer, and catering.<\/p>\n

Kismet is collaborating with Holy Basil<\/a> chef Wedchayan \u201cDeau\u201d Arpapornnopparat on a tom kha pita<\/a> that benefits the immigrant rights group CHIRLA<\/a>. Available for a limited time, the pita gets stuffed with shredded chicken, cabbage, jalape\u00f1o, and crispy shallots, then dressed in a lemongrass and lime leaf coconut dressing. The pita is currently available at all Kismet locations now.<\/p>\n

The menu will feature a handful of sandwiches on Pillsbury biscuits, including a sausage-and-egg breakfast sandwich and a fried chicken sandwich.<\/p>\n
