Thanksgiving in Los Angeles: the perfect stuffing bread DOES exist – and it’s… [Recipe Inside]
This Thanksgiving, the perfect stuffing bread DOES exist – and it’s brioche. As in St Pierre Brioche Thanksgiving Stuffing
No Thanksgiving spread is complete without a hearty stuffing. While add-ins are a matter of preference, choosing the right bread is crucial. One underrated choice is eggy, rich brioche – and with St Pierre Bakery, you don’t need to go to France to get it.
Thanks to its butter and egg content, St Pierre’s Brioche Loaf provides the perfect balance of crisp toastiness while remaining soft and creamy inside, while its lightly sweet flavor adds a decadent quality that can still lean savory. Attached below is an approachable recipe for stuffing allowing for all the craveable crunch for the whole family with minimal effort required.
St Pierre Brioche Thanksgiving Stuffing
By @BrandiMilloy
Ingredients
1 loaf St. Pierre Brioche Bread
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
3/4 cup celery, diced
3/4 cup carrots, diced
1 cup mushrooms, diced
2 large eggs
1 tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme, just the leaves
1 tbsp. fresh sage, chopped
1 small apple (granny smith works well), peeled and diced
Salt and pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut brioche bread into 1” cubes and bake for about 10-15 minutes until toasted.
-
Meanwhile, into a pot over medium high heat add butter until melted. Add onion, celery and carrots and cook until everything starts to soften, about 7 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Into a bowl whisk together the eggs, herbs, apples, mushrooms, and salt and pepper. Add your cooked vegetables and mix to combine.
-
Pour mixture on top of toasted bread and stir to combine. Bake stuffing for about 45 minutes. If your stuffing starts to get too brown, cover until finished baking. Enjoy!
As America’s favorite brioche brand, St Pierre’s products are widely available via grocery stores nationwide as well as Walmart.

Palm Springs’ The Colony Palms Hotel: Executive Chef Michael Hung Welcomes Chef Vartan Abgaryan To First-Ever Los Angeles Guest Chef Series
Executive Chef Michael Hung Welcomes Chef Vartan Abgaryan To The Colony Club’s First-Ever Los Angeles Guest Chef Series At The Colony Palms Hotel in Palm Springs!
Join Executive Chef Michael Hung as he welcomes Guest Chef Vartan Abgaryan of Tommy’s Beverly Hills to
The Colony Club’s first-ever Los Angeles Guest Chef Series
They will be presenting a very special Five-Course Tasting Menu, Optional Wine Pairing, and Specialty Handcrafted Cocktails at The Colony Palms Hotel in Palm Springs coming up on Wednesday, November 9th, 2022!
Chef Vartan Abgaryan began his career late compared to most in the field. At the age of twenty, his hunger for food and love for cooking lead him to the kitchen.
Educated at Le Cordon Bleu and after working at the famed Andre Soltner restaurant, Lutece, at the age of twenty-five he became the chef at Red Pearl Kitchen in Los Angeles and then, at twenty-six, ‘A’ Restaurant in Newport Beach;
The sultry speak-easy style venue that was ‘The Arches’ for some 80 years, was reinvented and given a fresh start, where Chef Abgaryan’s cooking became the heart and the soul of this intimate establishment.
After three years in Newport, Abgaryan relocated to Los Angeles, this time to Public Kitchen and Bar at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
With Vartan Abgaryan as Executive Chef, Public Kitchen and Bar received a 2-starreview from S. Irene Virbila and the Los Angeles Times and was mentioned as a ‘Restaurant to Watch’ in Esquire Magazine by John Mariani. In 2012, Abgaryan joined Cliff’s Edge as Executive Chef.
His cuisine is best described as Modern American, and he sums it up by saying:
“I am driven by flavor, and I want to cook with flavors that evoke emotion.”
At Cliff’s Edge he became known for his highly seasonal approach with ingredients and the stunning presentation of his dishes. Eater LA’s Matthew Kang called out Abgaryan plates by saying he was “among the most beautiful plating in the city.”
In 2014 under Chef Abgaryan, Cliffs Edge was awarded 3-stars by LA Weekly’s Restaurant Critic Besha Rodell.
In summer of 2015, Chef Abgaryan announced that he would be leaving Cliff’s Edge in October of that year to begin preparing for the opening of 71Above, a soon-to-open restaurant on the 71st floor of the US Bank Tower in Downtown Los Angeles.
71Above opened in July 2016 and since the opening, the restaurant has seen great critical acclaim and was awarded 3-stars by LA Weekly Restaurant Critic Besha Rodell.
Los Angeles Magazine named 71Above one of the ‘Top Ten New Restaurants of 2016’ with their Restaurant Critic Patric Kuh remarking, “The experience is luxury that reflects on-point execution,” while Los Angeles TimesRestaurant critic Jonathan Gold called his suckling pig dish, “Something out of a charcuterie dream.”
Colony Club Guest Chef Vartan Abgaryan
Chef Vartan Abgaryan is currently overseeing the kitchen at Tommy’s Beverly Hills, a restaurant concept from Tommy Salvatore featuring a California-inspired menu with contemporary Italian influences.

Dita Von Teese Brings the world’s biggest burlesque show, ‘Glamonatrix’ to Los Angeles in 2023
Dita Von Teese announced that she will be bringing the world’s biggest burlesque show, ‘Glamonatrix’ to North America next year.
Produced by Live Nation, the 21-date tour kicks off on January 7th, 2023, in Seattle, WA at the Paramount Theatre, making stops across North America in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Orleans, New York, and more along with a special performance on Valentine’s Day at The Chicago Theatre.

Dita’s burlesque show continues to break records as the biggest and most lavish burlesque show in history.

Hot on the heels of her 41-show tour overseas in historic theaters, including The London Palladium, Opera Garnier Monte Carlo, Folies Bergère and Vienna’s Burgtheatre, Dita is thrilled to bring the Glamonatrix burlesque revue to cities across the United States and Canada.
The Glamonatrix Tour is produced and directed by Dita Von Teese
and sponsored by Sweet Gwendoline French Gin and Lashify.com, inventor of DIY Lash extensions.
“For me, burlesque has always been about finding my own confidence,
liberating the taboo of striptease with fantastical stripscapes,
while encouraging others to indulge in and enjoy their own sensuality.
Glamour is the art of creating mystery and allure,
and the new “Glamonatrix” show speaks to unapologetic sensual power with a fun fetishistic twist.”
says Von Teese.
She continues, “I feel so fortunate that burlesque has come to symbolize a celebration of beauty and sensuality in many forms, a place where diversified icons take the stage and inspire others. I’m proud to be a part of the modern burlesque movement and I’m grateful to have the chance to tour with performers who change people’s minds about striptease.”
TICKETS: Tickets go on sale to the general public starting Friday, September 16th at 10:00 AM Local Time on Ticketmaster.com.
