Blackburn + Sweetzer Has Moved

Master barber Woody Lovell may not have hit his February 1 deadline to debut the Barbershop Club at the Farmers Market, but work is in progress at the space next to Starbucks, which is being built out to accommodate the new but shave haven.

Via Eating LA, we learn that Shindler’s Dish has some scoop on the burger spot Nancy Silverton (La Brea Bakery, Campanile, Mozza) and Amy Pressman (Pasadena’s Old Town Bakery former owner) will be opening at the Farmers Market.
