Alan Tudyk, known for his voice work in animated classics and his memorable roles on TV, shares his perfect Sunday in Los Angeles, a blend of quality time with loved ones, dog adventures, and delectable food options.
Starting the day bright and early at 7 a.m., Tudyk grabs his favorite coffee brewed at home, using Intelligentsia Coffee mixed with oat milk and topped with granulated monk fruit sugar. His daily ritual includes making sure his dogs, Raisin and Clara, are fed before heading out for a run in the Hollywood Hills, near the iconic Hollywood sign. The area, a popular spot for both locals and tourists, offers stunning views and a perfect setting for Tudyk’s terrier mix, Raisin, who is known to playfully chase coyotes during her runs. Meanwhile, Clara, his cockapoo, remains by Tudyk’s side.
After their morning exercise, Tudyk and his wife, Charissa, head to Honey Hi for breakfast, a gluten-free haven. Racing back home, Tudyk quickly showers before waking his wife to join him. The couple enjoys a hearty meal, sharing a community bowl and gluten-free pancakes, emphasizing that one breakfast is never quite enough.
Next on their Sunday agenda is a trip to Wacko, a unique store on Sunset Boulevard that features a collection of books and quirky collectibles. The couple enjoys browsing through the local art displayed at La Luz de Jesus Gallery, inspiring their creativity before taking a 15-minute power nap in their car, recharging for the rest of the day.
By noon, they stop at Blue Bottle Coffee for their second round of caffeine and to pick up gluten-free bagels from Pop’s Bagels, which they enjoy later at home while continuing to relax. Tudyk dedicates some of his afternoon to writing while Charissa enjoys a good book, making the most of their cozy home environment, further fostering their creative spirits.
Come 3 p.m., Tudyk and Charissa seek out a perfect burger at Crossroads on Melrose. They indulge in the restaurant’s vegan burger, paired with delicious fries and a kale Caesar salad, delighting in the rich flavors and textures that make for an unforgettable meal. The couple treats themselves to a vegan chocolate sundae as they revel in their culinary feast.
With plenty of energy from their food, they head to Dover Street Market in the Arts District for some shopping. Despite being in his fifties, Tudyk is unafraid to explore the latest trends, picking up unique pieces that reflect his and Charissa’s styles. They enjoy browsing playful skatewear and modern designs while visiting the Rose Bakery for gluten-free strawberry cake, combining fashion and tasty treats into their day.
When 6 p.m. rolls around, it’s time for Tudyk and his wife to engage in their cherished tradition of selecting their song of the summer. Sitting in their car, they savor the cake while trading song recommendations; this year, the competition is fierce between tracks like “Punkrocker” by Teddybears featuring Iggy Pop and the absurdly entertaining “Chaperone” from Mermaid Chunky, with the latter ultimately earning the title due to its unique vibe and summer energy.
Ending the day at Manuela around 7 p.m., Tudyk opts for the iconic pork chop, a dish that balances perfectly with fresh peaches, while Charissa enjoys a fish dish paired with a refreshing glass of white wine. They take a moment to reflect on their beautifully ordinary day, feeling content with everything they have experienced.
On the way home, they make a quick stop at Alcove Cafe and Bakery for their famous gluten-free carrot cake, rounding off a Sunday filled with laughter, good food, and quality time together. Tudyk’s ideal day captures the essence of life in L.A., showcasing the charm of the city through a blend of adventure, relaxation, and culinary exploration.
