Celebrity Opens New Restaurant In SoCal

LOS ANGELES — Actress Issa Rae has opened a new restaurant in Los Angeles.

The “Insecure” star last week announced the opening of Somerville at 4437 W. Slauson Ave. in the Slauson Corridor of View Park-Windsor Hills, describing the eatery in an Instragram post as “an ode to the classic, artistic past of Black South Central L.A.”

The menu features steakhouse classics as well as standouts such as fried chicken and caviar sliders, chicory and crab salad, and collard green lasagna, plus a selection of beer, wine and cocktails.

Rae’s previous ventures into the world of food and beverages include launching Hilltop Kitchen + Coffee, also in Los Angeles, and the Procecco brand Viarae, according to KTLA.
