Baroo Has Closed, but Leaves a Rare Culinary Legacy in Los Angeles

Homemade pickles and other fermenting goodies at Baroo, Kwang Uh and Matthew Kim’s eclectic restaurant in a Los Angeles strip mall, Oct. 19, 2018. With high ambitions and low prices, the tiny Baroo epitomized the delicious idiosyncrasies of the city’s restaurant culture; it also has served its last meal. (Elizabeth Lippman/The New York Times)
