Plus, Badmaash’s dining room returns in Downtown LA, and Dough Daddy gets the TV treatment

Slab, the West Third Street barbecue restaurant from Burt Bakman (Trudy’s Underground Barbecue) and the H.Wood Group, is moving into Pasadena next. The growing group has been quietly been plotting a larger expansion, and now will land at 812 S. Arroyo Parkway, just doors down from the incoming Howlin’ Ray’s and other popular options like Superba Snacks + Coffee and Shake Shack.
Keys are in hand now for the new Slab on Arroyo Parkway, but the opening is still a ways off; expect a reveal sometime in early 2022, most likely. Once in place, the new Slab should help to further rocket the still-ascendant Pasadena dining scene to new heights.
