And the rye&#8230;Good Lord, the rye: par-baked daily at Bea\u2019s Bakery, in Tarzana, then finished in-house till it\u2019s plush in the center but crisp at the crust. Finally there\u2019s the setting: brass chandeliers on a dropped-panel ceiling; a malt machine; a case of cakes the size of truck wheels. Dare you? Yes.
