Los Angeles Restaurant Tips by mbstone

Restaurant Name: Everywhere

L.A. is a big flat expanse of real estate; drive in any direction and you will encounter Fast Food. Jack In The Box, Carl's Jr., Taco Bell, McDonald's, In & Out Burger, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken. A more local style of Fast Food is Tommy's Original Burgers, laden with cheese and chili. If you miss your turn keep driving and there will be another fast food joint in no time. Ditto for gas stations and convenience stores.

Favorite Dish: Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, burritos, tacos, you name it. Favorites include Jack In The Box, 2 tacos for 99c; Chicken Club from Carl's Jr. Whopper from Burger King.

Restaurant Name: e.g. Todai Light House

Almost as common as fast food is the Oriental Buffet featuring a wide selection of entrees. Usually $7 for lunch and $9-10 for dinner and weekend lunch. My personal favorite is Todai Light House, 4th & Arizona, Santa Monica and Beach & Warner, Huntington Beach where sushi is on the menu along with the Chinese food.

Favorite Dish: Mussels, stuffed shrimp, sushi, sashimi. The same amount of sushi ordered at a regular sushi bar will set you back $50, so a buffet offering decent sushi is a bargain indeed.
