“In my experience, the ‘best’ kinds of foods are in not-so-desirable neighborhoods in most major cities.” I think you’ve got a point there. It makes me realize I should spend more time exploring L.A. too. The broccoli bowl looks delicious!

Yes you should! I also recommended reading Curtis Chin’s memoir ‘Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant’ where he talks about growing up in a dingy neighborhood which was where his family’s restaurant was located in Detroit. Anyway, it’s always the hidden away joints that does not get enough media love is where you get really good food.
