The Gastro Garage Brings the Heat to Hollywood and Provides Light (and Delicious Bites) During the Pandemic

The Gastro Garage Brings the Heat to Hollywood and Provides Light (and Delicious Bites) During the Pandemic

Hollywood is on FIRE – but for good reason! Thanks to Torched, LA can finally feel alive after so many months in isolation. The Gastro Garage is setting up shop on the rooftop of the infamous W Hotel in Hollywood! With views of the Hollywood Hills and beyond, this is an outing you didn’t know you needed!

Piston PIZZZAAAA(HHH)! Are just a few of the phrases you’ll hear throughout your evening at the TORCHED in Hollywood this time around! The Gastro Garage is putting a spin on your average 8-course dinner by adding flames – and a lot of it!

During your experience you can expect to nosh on delicious bites, many set atop their signature slider sized brioche donuts, such as: a mini pizza filled with cheese and topped with more cheese, basil, and olive oil. The Cubano is also surprisingly delicious. It’s filled with Gruyere foam and torched with a 12-hour slow roasted pork + applewood smoked ham topped with mustard caviar and dill!

The Gastro Garage is sure to please, especially with the salmon that is cooked using a drill bit, rotating over flames, and served with a side of crème fraiche! This may or may not be one of the few times you’ll ask for more carrots! Here they’re served perfectly glazed with miso and a creamy maple dip!

The fun doesn’t stop here – the desserts will have you swooning as well! The Princess Buttercup Tank is simply what dreams are made of!

Although the menu will rotate based on location, this experience alone is worth every penny!
