Hats off to Tender Greens, forreal. The past two days at lunch I’ve had the chicken hot plate with golden brown mashed taters, and I gotta say, it’s a treat. It comes with a salad and a fine piece of Garlic bread. A nice touch. I’m not touching the carbs though. Trying to be less Al Franken and more Ryan Gosling. Maybe Ryan Reynolds in Van Wilder.
Our Writers’ PA hooks it up on the ordering, but after two weeks his selections got a little boring so I threw him some suggestions to mix it up:
Larchmont Wine and Cheese — epic sandos. The best baguette in Los Angeles.
Jersey Mike’s Subs — Subway for guys with a 401k.
Village Pizzeria — another Larchmont staple. But for Mulberry Pizza in Encino, this place takes the cake for pie.
88 Chinese — Old School Chinese. MSG all over the place. You’ll need Advil from the hangover, but you’ll be satisfied.
Al Wazir: Basically, it’s Al Abbas chicken from Curb Your Enthusiasm. Damn, is this place tasty! Get the #3 “Sleeper Cell” style.
And there you have it folks. Obviously, I eat at other establishments. These are the ones we can swing on a production budget.
