City, doth protest too much. From the looks of things, we love, love, love our bread. And Breadbar—purveyor of some of fair L.A.'s crustiest, spongiest, most delicious batards—finds it necessary to open its second location in the commercial heart of the Century City Mall. The space maintains the rustic charm of the original, albeit with the requisite touch of shopping center shine. Big bonus: the bigger room and patio, plus a bakery counter both indoor and out, ensure seating without the excruciating wait on Robertson Blvd.
