A Late Night & Early Morning Breakfast at KITCHEN 24, West Hollywood

Wakey Wakey Eggs & Bakey at Kitchen 24

I dipped into LA this past weekend and totally forgot I’m headed to Jamaica in just a couple of days!  Between the drinks at Beverly Hills Hotel, In-N-Out Burger and airport food, I completely lost track of my diet of fruits and vegetables!  YIKES!
