He was schooled by Thomas Keller as the chef de cuisine at the French Laundry before opening his own BBQ joint in Studio City. Hollingsworth's new restaurant,  Otium , a throwback to the Latin word for leisure, is in the Broad Museum complex in downtown Los Angeles.

    Tim Hollingsworth is another chef with some serious kitchen credentials. He was schooled by Thomas Keller as the chef de cuisine at the French Laundry before opening his own BBQ joint in Studio City. Hollingsworth's new restaurant, Otium, a throwback to the Latin word for leisure, is in the Broad Museum complex in downtown Los Angeles.
