/ck/ - Food & Cooking

LA here. We have a lot of good food, but most of it is expensive and everything that isn't requires driving in traffic for ages, paying out the ass for parking, and waiting in an hour long line for a table.
Surprisingly little is open late unless you're in one of the really hip neighborhoods.
Way too many short-lived food trends, we'll suddenly have 50 of the same type of restaurant pop up almost at once and then they're all gone two years later. (Nashville-style hot chicken sandwiches are the current meme.)
Decent BBQ is hard to find and overpriced as fuck when you do.
Indian food is mostly mediocre as hell compared to what I used to get in NorCal
Too much fusion bullshit
Every time you find a good place some LA Times writer will do a story on it a month later and then it gets overcrowded and goes to shit
Good affordable restaurants have been dropping like flies because rent keeps going up and up
Bar scene is pathetic compared to what you'd expect it to be

On the bright side our Japanese and Chinese food are based.
