Coming Attractions : Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing Taking Over Capri on AK

November 17 through 19, chefs Kris Tominaga (Joe’s Restaurant) and Brian Dunsmoor (Axe) are moving down the block to pop-up at Capri with their own concept called Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing . From 5:30-10:30PM they will serve an eight-course menu of rustic country fare priced at $65. To make a resy call 424-268-8344 or email wolfinsheepsclothingrestaurant@gmail.com with name, phone number, date, time, and party size. This temporary dining engagement is, in fact, a sneak peek of what’s to come. In December, Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing moves into Capri indefinitely (in partnership with Capri management, though operating under the new name) offering “gimmick-free food that real people wanna eat.” So when the lines at Gjelina are unbearable, this sounds like it could be a more affordable alternative… [EaterWire] More here: Coming Attractions : Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing Taking Over Capri on AK

Former Friends Star David Schwimmer Lists L.A. Mansion

November 11, 2011
Former Friends Star David Schwimmer Lists L.A. Mansion

SELLER: David Schwimmer LOCATION: Los Angeles, CA PRICE: $10,700,000 SIZE: 11,336 square feet, 9 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms YOUR MAMAS NOTES: There are three–make that four–main reasons why celebrities, high profile people and others with the ducats to indulge their multi-million dollar real estate whims: death, marriage, divorce and/or the birth of a child. Since former Friends actor David Schwimmer got married last year in an all-but-secret ceremony and then pushed out a baby in May 2011 it’s really not such a surprise to any of us real estate gossips that he and his new missus-mommy Zoe Buckman–a former waitress and part-time photographer from London–recently heaved his long-time bachelor pad in Los Angeles’ hoity-toity Hancock Park area on the market with an asking price of $10,700,000. Since Friends went off the air in 2005 Mister Schwimmer hasn’t been very busy in front of the camera instead preferring a recurring voice over role in the Madagascar animated film franchise and directing a few things here and there including live studio segments for the long ago canceled Little Britain USA , a short-lived sketch comedy series that starred the deliciously campy, button-pushing British actor/comedians David Walliams and Matt Lucas, who recently snatched up his own house in Los Angeles. Property records show Mister Schwimmer acquired his gated and high-hedged Hancock Park spread way back in May 2001 when he paid $5,600,000 for the 1-plus acre estate located in the fancy heart of one of the better pockets of the historic, affluent, and celebrity-friendly Hancock Park ‘hood. Listing information indicates Mister Schwimmer’s massive two-story Mediterranean mansion was built in 1926, measures 11,000 square feet–the L.A. County Tax Man shows it’s 11,336 square feet–and contains 9 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms and 5 fireplaces. We’re not sure if those bedroom and bathroom counts include the detached guest house, located above the detached 3-car garage and described in listing materials as “a modern loft experience,”that has its own living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Current listing photos are few and limited only to exterior shots of the house and grounds but listing information does indicate the interior spaces include formal living and dining rooms, a wood paneled library, stone-walled den, and a newly-installed state-of-the-art screening room. While the house was largely remodeled when Mister Schwimmer acquired it he did do over the back yard, install new heating and air conditioning systems and restored the windows, doors and hardwood floors.
