Brentwood gems: longtime family restaurant and cozy wine shop thrive

CBS News Los Angeles reported on two notable Brentwood businesses that highlight the neighborhood's charm and community spirit.

Reddi Chick, a family-owned restaurant opened in 1948 and owned by the Salita family since 1979, has been a local gathering spot for generations. The restaurant is known for its comfort food and the community connections it fosters. CBS LA extended condolences to the Salita family following the recent passing of Stephen Salita, who helped shape the business and its role in Brentwood.

In addition, Thatcher Baker-Briggs opened a wine shop in Brentwood that challenges traditional wine rules. His shop caters to both novices and collectors, offering curated bottles that connect customers to regions like Germany, France, and Spain. The shop is noted for its inviting atmosphere and a standout wine fridge.

Together, these businesses reflect Brentwood's blend of tradition and innovation, serving residents with quality food and unique wine experiences.
