Cheap Chinese Food Challenge: Is Tasty Goody Too Much For Lunch?
Every Tuesday we profile a random L.A. lunch’er here on the site… get their recommendations for places to eat around their work, and beyond (for those who are willing to drive a bit for something new or good.) Lately I’ve been seriously mining the suggestions of Lunch’er “Jeff”, a Venice based fundraising director who had some great west side lunch suggestions. Aunt Kizzy’s Back Porch and the meatloaf sandwich at Bay Cities are at the top of my list, and as promised the lambwich at Venice Beach Wines was excellent. But the most curious of his suggestions was Tasty Goody.
In response to my Cheap Chinese Food Challenge, Jeff recommended the “must try” Tasty Goody on Lincoln just south of Rose. He copped to not being able to handle it for lunch (he’s been there twice for dinner), but didn’t want to “spoil it” by telling me anything else. Spoil it! Spoil what!?! To say I was intrigued would be a massive understatement. What kind of shenanigans could Tasty Goody possibly be pulling? Different ideas were racing through my head. Is it an airplane hanger? Does it have an all you can eat option? Some unheard of citrus sticky sauce covered chicken option, like tangerine chicken- to go along with the industry standard orange and lemon chickens? What could it possibly be!?!
Only one way to find out.
