7 Reasons to Hate L.A. (Lunching, That Is)
I try to be positive here on Midtown Lunch… and I freakin’ 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 much of the food in L.A. (and will defend it to the death against any outsiders, ornatives 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…
1. Alright Mendocino Farms… we gave you a bit of leeway when you called your admittedly delicious pork belly sandwich a banh mi. But a cuban sandwich should probably not be on the same bread as your shrimp po’boy, or at the very least it should be pressed. You have a panini press, use it. That being said, adding plantain chips on top of the sandwich is genius. Oh, we can’t stay at mad you Mendocino Farms!
2. Prediction: When the Los Angeles branch of Eataly finally opens, bloggers who get to eat there for free will love it. Those who have to pay will be slightly less enthusiastic.
