More than Just Bread & Butter
Story and Photos by Chase Maser
The restaurant scene has been quiet in
El Segundo for the past few months.
There haven’t been any busy tables or
bustling sidewalks with sprawling nightlife,
but lately, residents have been leaving
their quarantines and enjoying meals in
public places. And if eating in public
isn’t available, one place, in particular,
serves a variety of dishes that
offers customers a sense of normalcy—
Bread & Butter.
Located on 630 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Bread
& Butter features a mostly American-style
cuisine that spans across a few different
cultures. You can order tasty tacos and their
“World Famous” classic burrito, but aside
from Mexican favorites, seafood dishes, and
Italian pastas, B&B is best known for their
breakfast and brunch items.
Dubbed as their “Breakfast Delights,” B&B
is a local favorite with a full breakfast menu
and bakery. For a simple meal to start your
day, the “Sunrise Breakfast” includes two
eggs any style, your choice of ham, bacon
or sausage links, and two pancakes topped
with fresh fruit and powdered sugar. If pancakes
aren’t your thing, you can order fluffy
french toast instead, with two eggs and a
protein choice—and all of these items range
anywhere from $11 to $14.
Run by Marco and Sophia Awada, B&B
is a family-owned restaurant that’s been
serving El Segundo for more than 30 years.
“We do things the old-fashioned way,” says
Marco .“Our pancakes are always fresh. We
use fresh veggies for breakfast, french toast
made from scratch—pretty much anything
we can do to better the community and offer
them something delicious and consistent.”
And B&B is no stranger to overcoming
changes in the community, let alone the
world as a whole. In fact, before becoming
Bread & Butter, the restaurant was originally
a burger spot that Marco and his wife started,
serving classic hamburgers on their menu for
the town to enjoy. However, once In-N-Out
Burger moved in, they had to adapt their
menu to provide a unique experience for
their customers. To make matters even more
challenging, El Pollo Loco, Carl’s Jr., and
even a Chinese takeout restaurant surround
them in the plaza.
Over the years, the competition has been
tough, but Marco has been able to thrive. “We
have loyal customers here in El Segundo,
and I wanted to focus more on breakfast
items so that change made it even better
for us since we provide what customers are
looking for daily. We get terrific crowds on
the weekends, too. ”Even amid COVID-19,
Marco has been able to formulate a plan
that has kept their doors open throughout the
pandemic, while taking safety precautions to
protect the community. “We do patio service
now for sit-down guests, and we partner
with third-party delivery platforms to serve
customers anywhere we can.”
B&B partners with GrubHub, Uber Eats,
Door Dash, and Postmates to make their menu
accessible for anyone nearby. Plus, they’ve
also changed their hours to accommodate
customers and keep employees on staff. “We
never closed during the pandemic,” says
