The hiring is finally done, the liquor license accomplished, and tonight, Farmshop expands its hours and opens for dinner. Jeffrey Cerciello's kitchen, which has already created one of L.A.'s newest cult items, the perfect shoestring fry, will offer 3-to-4-course family-style dinners ($40-60) with a menu that changes nightly and might include an heirloom tomato salad with fried chickpeas, a ribeye with eggplant, walnuts and wild mushrooms, a cheese course with lemon marmalade and a mission fig tart with almond cream.

Cerciello also kicks off fried chicken night this Sunday, which featuren chicken inspired by the kind he made at Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc. It comes with side dishes like cabbage, fennel and poppy seed slaw as well as sweet corn and peppers.
