We would like to welcome you to the Starving Actor Restaurant. Chef Brandi brings a passion for cooking delicious meals prepared with love that will put a smile on your face with every bite. The long journey to get here began with our Tuesday night Dinners, where Brandi would cook a meal in my studio apartment on 7th st in Los Angeles and I would deliver the meals to our friends for $7.99. We then began selling funnel cakes and juice at festivals all over L.A. From there we began catering for corporate events and large parties. We then got our own food truck, called What The Funnel, and hit the streets of Los Angeles.
“I went to The Starving Actor when I was in Downtown L.A. because I heard they had an amazing sweet potato cheesecake. Yes they do! It was delicious. Before I indulged in dessert I had a meal as well. I had their sautéed shrimp plate with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. The shrimp were juicy and flavorful with just the right amount of cajun spices. The sautéed broccoli was the best tasting broccoli I have ever had hands down. The walls are filled with portraits of great actors and actresses. It gives the place a cool vibe. There is parking in the building and across the street and the staff is super friendly. Great meal, great experience, I will definitely be back soon to try one of their funnel cakes!”
“The shrimp and grits were served hot and tasty! Yes! Excellent customers service. The staff was very professional and friendly! Very cozy environment! Soothing music to soothe my tummy. Great atmosphere! Really good food! Bring your family, date, and everyone you what to impress!”
“This is by far the best restaurant I've been to in a while. Service and food was awesome. Please try the fish!!”
