As is customary on Midtown Lunch, every Tuesday we profile a random reader to get their recommendations for the best spots to lunch near their work. This week it’s Grace, a student who can’t drink but loves lunching in DTLA.
Name: Grace
Age: 20
Occupation: Business student and the younger, still-not-legal-to-drink half of LA in Stilettos
Where in L.A. do you Work?: Just ended my internship in Downtown LA, but still a student at University of Southern California!
Favorite Kind of Food: Sandwiches, burgers and burritos. I also absolutely love anything with foie gras and truffles, but definitely not an “everyday” kind of thing to eat.
Least Favorite Kind of Food: Mustard… I hate any kind of mustard – honey mustard, dijon mustard, yellow Frenchie’s mustard. I also don’t like sour cream. So I guess more condiments than anything else.
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch: This past summer I was working in Downtown at the 7th & Fig Plaza so Downtown has definitely become my new “lunch” spot. I love Bottega Louie (700 S. Grand Ave.). I usually just do takeout instead of sitting down for an actual meal. When I’m feeling something light, I get the Louie salad or proscuitto and seasonal fruit. The delicious portobello fries and aoili are, of course, a must for every meal! Nazo’s Bakery on 8th (btw. Flower & Fig) was always good for a quick sandwich, but if I was seriously craving a quality sandwich, I would walk all the way to Mendocino Farms to get my pork belly bahn mi, steak BLT, or the not-so-fried-chicken sandwich – which reminds me of the delicious sandwich from LudoTruck!
