Angelenos’ willingness to traverse the city’s ample landscape is one way of measuring an establishment’s success within Los Angeles. With boeuf bourguignon and short rib sandwiches serving as their guiding light, natives made clear long ago that they are willing to travel and withstand vast lines to experience Joan’s on Third. Now boasting a Studio City location as well as plans for a Santa Monica venue, the allure of Joan’s on Third is clearly unwavering.
Joan McNamara, the force behind the famous L.A. eatery, began her wildly successful efforts in 1995 with Joan’s on Third catering. Quickly establishing demand, this catering eventually expanded to include a street marketplace and café by 1998. Despite these expansions, Joan’s catering origins remain strong and her event planning services are regarded as one of L.A.’s finest. Corporate conference in the works? Why not provide attendees with a lunch of butterleaf and radicchio salad followed by grilled maple rosemary chicken breast. Looking to celebrate an engagement? The Joan’s on Third special events team will take care of the catered cuisine, venue selection, and décor, allowing you to focus your attention on celebrating.
McNamara is joined in her culinary and entrepreneurial efforts by her two business partners: daughters Carol McNamara and Susie Hastings. Together, this powerful trio has proven that they’re a force to be reckoned with in L.A.’s premier culinary and event planning scene. With a presence spanning from Beverly Grove to the San Fernando Valley and quality food and services that have reached cult-like status, this powerful trio has got you covered.
