Glenn Phillips and Works Progress Administration

The Works Progress Administration is a folk band named after FDR’s New Deal agency, with singer Glen Phillips (Toad The Wet Sprocket) at the helm.

Phillips says one of his favorite things to do in LA is visit Inaka Natural Foods Restaurant.

“There is something about the coffee at King’s Road that makes me really happy. And Benmont took us to a great macrobiotic vegan quasi-Japanese place called Inaka. But my favorite thing to do in LA is just catch up with friends. And again, as far as favorite places go, it doesn’t get better than Largo!”

Looking up a link to Inaka, the restaurant is under Yelp.com‘s “Japanese” and “Seafood” categories.

Reviewers have made comments like:

“I highly recommend their chocolate tofu mousse.”

So we take it some of Inaka is vegan.

But it gets real comically confusing as another reviewer expressed content with seafood and “tofu on the side.”

“Don’t miss their salmon (ask for it pan-fried with their light/dee-lish teriyaki on the side, OR try their incredible salmon patty and ask for their tofu dressing on the side for it…YUM!!!)”

Tofu dressing sounds delicious. Salmon patty…that’s another story.
