Filet mignon and cheese pide at Alchemist

We hear most promising things about the Turkish breakfasts offered at The Alchemist, a cafe and hookah bar located at Wilshire and Fairfax. Its menu spans both traditional Mediterranean dishes and more creative recipes, including shrimp pot pie, hummus with melted butter and pastrami, cigar borek, filet mignon pide, scrambled eggs with soujok, freshly baked gozleme, and a massive $55 Turkish breakfast spread.
