A Popular French Cruller Pop-Up Lands in Culver City for the Summer
is an editor of the Southern California/Southwest region, who covers the evolving landscape of LA's food scene.
French cruller pop-up Nyletta has settled into a new home for the summer at Platform in Culver City. Glenn Robinson's pop-up will be open Thursday to Sunday, serving the fried treats out of the Platform news stand. Named after Robinson's grandmother, Nyletta serves a rotating menu of crullers with glazes like chile cinnamon, summer cherry, and cinnamon sugar.
Robinson's upbringing in California and memories of eating churros as a child inspired him to develop his own recipe while living in New York. While on the East Coast, he operated churro pop-up Churrero, before moving back to California. The move back inspired him to found Nyletta as a new way to explore the churros he grew up with, using the French cruller technique.
