In September 2014, restaurateurs Lisa & Chris Bonbright opened Gracias Madre based on the idea that only organic plant-based ingredients are to be used for both the food and the drinks. They were told they were “crazy.” It would be much more accurate and appropriate to say that they were visionaries.
For ten years, undoubtable success has been on the plates, the patio like no other in this chic part of Melrose Avenue, and at the bar garnished only with tequila and mezcal, of course produced with artisanal methods. It is quite a large restaurant, and filling it up every day for lunch, dinner and brunch, is the proof they have been doing it right. Sadly for others, we have seen many vegan places come and go.
The 10-Year Celebration
For the celebration of the 10-year anniversary, executive chef Diana Briscoe had created a special menu composed of dishes from the 2014 opening day menu at opening day prices.

I was happy to be at Gracias Madre to share this milestone with the owner Chris Bonbright and executive chef Diana Briscoe, doing my signature move. Please, do not try it at home…
