Quiche for Oscar Party???

A friend is hosting an Oscar party, even though she's having another dinner party the night before.
I'm trying to convince her to make it less stressful, by doing a French theme, and serving quiche.
Even less stressful than making them....picking them up from somewhere. Any good recommendations? Clementine's does them, but I think they only do smaller ones.

    Thanks everyone! I think she has decided to order from Bouchon. I'm glad she's ordering as opposed to making them, since she's doing a dinner party the night before and it would be too stressful. I want her to be able to enjoy her own party. I appreciate everyone's suggestions!

        Josie's sells their mushroom quiche that they serve as an amuse, if you call in advance. I think it's delicious.

          You don't say what part of town you are in. In addition to the above suggestions, I think you can pick up a whole quiche from Bouchon Bakery in Beverly Hills and probably from Cafe Midi on La Brea http://www.cafemidi.com/ if you call ahead. Quiche at Bouchon and Cafe Midi are both good.

            I'm in Westwood....but will drive for good food! Thanks for the suggestions. I thought of Bouchon Bakery, but didn't remember seeing that on their menu. I'll check it out.

            Clementine also sells large quiches for $20. They have to be ordered in advance and come in 3 different flavors - asparagus, mushroom-scallion and bacon-leek.

              They make a great quiche at Amandine. For a whole one (or more) you need to order in advance. My usual breakfast there is a slice (without the salad alongside) at a very reasonable $5.25 + tax. Note that the cheese is melted on top rather than mixed in -- if you order a whole one I'd definitely order it pre-sliced and portioned as it could be really messy to slice yourself cutting through the cheese layer.
