Don’t Snooze on Cart For A Cause: Noooo! Cart for a Cause is on 5700 Wilshire today, but they're not doing a reprise of last week's porchetta sandwich from Sal Marino. So bummed. Lesson learned... clearly I need to hit up Cart for a Cause every week! Today from Noon to 2pm $10 will get you this lunch from Joe Miller at Bar Pinxto (and as always all proceeds benefit St Vincent Meals on Wheels.)

Libra Switches to All You Can Eat: Great news from Thrillist for all you can eat fans who work near Downtown Culver city... Libra, the newish pay by the pound churrascaria, has switched to a one price all you can eat format.

LA Mag’s Lunch Issue is Now Online: The newest issue of Los Angeles Magazine is out, so last month's issue- dedicated entirely to lunch- is finally online. Sandwiches, food trucks, fancy lunches and food courts, plus an embarrassingly terrible drawing of me eating a hard shell taco. I knew I was balding and not so attractive, but a hard shelled taco!? I would never... (except that once at Tito's, and LAMag was definitely not there.)
