LA Weekly’s Best of LA 2011 Includes a Few Midtown Lunches
L.A. Weekly’s annual Best of L.A. issue is out, and while most of the delicious lunches listed require a special trip, I was excited to see a few Midtown Lunches on the list… like the amazing crispy catfish at Ganda, the pernil from Lidia’s Dominican Kitchen, the loco moco from Aloha Cafe, and the jokbal from Jang Choong Dong Wong Jokbal (seriously, if you like pork and haven’t been to this place you need to go, like, today.) Also, have to give an honorable mention to the coffee ice cubes at Brooklyn Water Bagel Co. But the biggest surprise on the list might be the pastrami & chili from Big Time Harvey’s (on 12473 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City). I’ve driven by this place so many times and never pulled the trigger (in fact, it’s across the street from Jacalito– that great little Oaxacan place I wrote about a few weeks ago.) Apparently it’s owned by the son of the guy who supplied chili, pastrami and corned beef to Pink’s, Langer’s, and Tommy Burger back in the day. That’s gotta be worth something, right? This one is getting added to the list right now.
