A Healthy Family Legacy in 12 Herbs and Spices Lives On
This article is presented in partnership with the Natural History Museum's "Kneaded: L.A. Bread Stories," a project that celebrates L.A. history, heritage and communities through the lens of bread.
Zhengyalov Hatz is both the name of the food and the name of the restaurant that Vresh Osipian owns in Glendale, California. As the first person in his family to open a restaurant, he looked toward his grandmother’s zhengyalov hatz recipe when developing his menu and follows in his grandmother’s footsteps by not deviating from her recipe since opening his first restaurant 16 years ago. This incredible flatbread stuffed with twelve different herbs and spices is both an expression of love for his grandmother and anchored in his strong roots in Artsakh.
