The Village Idiot

By Jazz Rules

Behold, The Village Idiot, which lives on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. Co-owner Charlie Conrad, chef Lindsay Kennedy and another partner fashioned The Idiot, as locals are already calling it, after the watering holes in jolly old London. The kind where anyone could go any time of day for good food, good drink, and good atmosphere. They say the Idiot ‘bridges the gap between dive bar and upscale eatery, combining westside and eastside temperaments’. Do I have any idea what that means? Nope, but we say you don’t have to be an idiot to appreciate that!
