""It's something that I've been thinking about for the last few years. For me, I think the best thing to do is to be able to feed people in their homes, do pop-ups, do collabs, and make the city excited again. I can do more as chef Alisa than I can do at My 2 Cents.""
""I want to inspire the world through my food. Sometimes you have to make such decisions, especially during times when everything is changing.""
""I just kept going. I was like, 'Nothing's going to stop us. We have to.' I had so many great customers and clients that believed in this restaurant.""
My 2 Cents, a soul food bistro in West Pico Boulevard, is closing permanently on July 31. Chef Alisa Reynolds opened the restaurant in 2013, offering a Southern comfort menu that became a local favorite. Despite its success, Reynolds has faced significant challenges, including financial losses from the COVID pandemic and other incidents. She's now shifting her focus to catering, collaborations, and developing a product line to continue sharing her culinary vision. My 2 Cents was recognized in The Times' 101 Best Restaurants in L.A. for two consecutive years before its closure.
