As is customary on Midtown Lunch, every Tuesday we’ll profile a random reader to get their recommendations for the best spots to lunch near their work. This week it’s Mike, a former New Yorker who loves meatballs (natch), pizza (natch), and eggs benedict (slighly less natch.)
Name: Mike
Age: 37
Occupation: Artist Manager / A&R Consultant / Co-Blogger at Eggs Benny Tour
Where in L.A. do you Work?: Mike Savage Artist Management, Hollywood.
Favorite Kind of Food: I’m an Italian / Pizza kind of guy (you can take the kid outta NY…), but living in L.A. for the past 13 years has given me a fondness for Asian cuisine as well. And of course Eggs
Benny!
Least Favorite Kind of Food: Anything with (Vegan Version) attached to the end of the name.
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch: Most of my lunches are business-related with music industry jerks, spread out all over the city. In Beverly Hills I like Frida on Beverly Drive (their tacos de camaron are fantastic), and the fish & chips at Kate Mantilini on Wilshire Blvd. are actually pretty awesome. If it’s my call, and we’re anywhere near an Umami Burger, we’re going there and I’ll probably order the standard Umami Burger, possibly their Port & Stilton Burger if I’m feeling fancy. One of the artists I manage, Meiko, is of Japanese descent – if we’re having a lunch meeting together it’ll usually be someplace downtown – more than likely Daikokuya in Little Tokyo (she’s got me addicted to their Daikoku Raumen).
