It’s after 10 p.m., hunger has struck and the bar you’re frequenting has nothing more appealing than chicken fingers. Where do you go? For over a generation the answer has been The Kettle. There you’ll be in the company of people who have just gotten out of plays or movies, shift workers, and night owls of every description. As it hits midnight the Kettle can be a fascinating experience for people watchers, as eccentrics of all sorts enjoy the best after-hours meals in the South Bay. The Kettle serve the same wide-ranging menu late night as when the sun is high in the sky, and you might even be tempted to come back by day – the crowd may not be as colorful but the food will be just as delicious.
