7 Reasons to Hate L.A. Lunching (The “Salad Week is Over” Edition)
I try to be positive here on Midtown Lunch… and I love this city. The food is amazing, and there’s no better place to be a “Midtown Lunch’er”. But as much as I love most of the food in L.A. (and will defend it to the death against any outsiders, or natives with an inferiority complex) there are some things about lunching in this town that really annoy me. Here are 7 of them, LAist style, for your enjoyment…
All salads should have this ratio of crunchy things to lettuce
1. So, in case using the words “toothsome” and “mouthfeel” didn’t clue you in, there isn’t actually a Salad Week 2014. It was just an April Fools Day joke. But if there was a Salad Week on this site it would probably be our biggest week of traffic of all time. This is L.A. after all. That makes me sad… but not as sad as eating a boring salad for lunch.
2. It is undeniable that Pa Ord’s expansion west to La Brea was a good thing for Thai food lovers who live west of Thai Town. But we are quickly discovering that not all Pa Ord’s are created equal. In other words, the ghost of Thai Foon still lives inside Pa Ord #2. The good news is, you can get crispy pork and chinese broccoli as a lunch special! The bad news? That spring roll you get free with your lunch is as terrible as it ever was. Unless you live in the hood and are ordering delivery, it’s probably worth just driving the extra 2 miles East to Pa Ord #1 or Pa Ord #3 (which, funny enough, might actually be an improvement on the original thanks to the ghost of Ganda!)
