We are Natalie and Andrew age 29 and 31, who really like to go out to eat, even though we can't really afford it. We live near Sunset Junction in Los Angeles (for those who are unfamiliar with LA, this is near where Silverlake, Hollywood, and Los Feliz converge to form an oasis of hipster dining and drinking options). Natalie is a graduate student and Andrew is a stand-up comedian; we have pretty different tastes in food, but we both agree that spending most of our income--and then some--on eating out is a valid way to participate in this exciting recession.
Natalie eats mostly vegetarian, and her tastes are as varied as they come. She especially enjoys authentic Thai and Indian cuisine (both north and south). The only food she truly hates is papaya.
Andrew always eats vegetarian, and is a fairly picky eater, in addition to being allergic to onions and peppers. In contrast to Natalie's exotic tastes, he would be happy with a lukewarm bowl of macaroni and cheese, if that's all that was available.
Our dog, Peaches, will accompany us on as many dining adventures as she can, and we will let you know how dog-friendly each establishment is. Peaches is the least picky eater among us; she's equally content with crispy road corpse and fresh raw veggies.
Together we hope to offer you a unique viewpoint on L.A's dining scene. Join us as we describe, review, and price LA's tastiest (and most repulsive, perhaps) eating options.
Things to know:
When we list the price for a meal, it will include a 20% tip unless otherwise noted. We know everyone who reads this understands the importance of a nice tip, so we wanted to include it in our price estimations.
The rating system:
5/5=Unbelievable. Quit reading this blog and go eat! An instant favorite.
4/5=Great. Worth the trip. A place we plan on returning to frequently.
3/5=Good. You won't regret the trip, but it doesn't really stand out.
2/5=Meh. Below par in one or more respects. Better off staying home and cooking.
1/5=Horrible. Something has gone truly wrong here. The kiss of death.
