How Excited Should Santa Monica Be For Hummus Bar Express?
I don’t know how you feel, but hearing that a place called “Hummus Bar Express” is coming soon to the 3rd Street Promenade does not cause me to automatically celebrate. We are talking about the Promenade after all, home to such wonderful Mediterranean cuisine as Falafel King. And Greek Cuisine Stop N Cafe. I’m not saying the Promenade couldn’t use an excellent Middle Eastern option (only a crazy person would say that!) but I do question what kind of Middle Eastern options the Promenade attracts. Of course once you add the words “from Tarzana” to the end of the Hummus Bar Express, that changes everything. Tarzana? That’s in the Valley. And the Valley has pretty awesome Middle Eastern food. Santa Monica could sure use some of that.
The question is, how excited should we be for Hummus Bar Express? Well that depends on how much of the original Hummus Bar & Grill is going to make it down the 405? They did call it “Express”, which means not everything is going to make the trip. But here’s what we should be hoping for…
