La Sorted's newest location feels like it has occupied its Chinatown block for over a century, then passed down to multiple generations. But it's only been open for one month. That's because every single square inch of the tiny restaurant is covered in some kind of Dodger artifact from the lifetime collection of owner Tommy Brockert.
"I take great pride in being from L.A.," Brockert tells L.A. TACO. "Why not do a Dodgers theme and just own it?"
Brockert was raised in the Simi and San Fernando Valleys. At 42, he had already amassed a collection of things, including some sentimental valuables passed down from his grandfather and other family members, all of them Dodger fans in their day.
