Damnit. Every meal out recently is just chasing a place I’ve wanted to try I hear is closing. RIP Lustig and Guerrilla Tacos, guess I’ll be at Cassia in a few weeks. Our poor LA scene is hurting 🙁

I’ve had some of the best restaurant nights of my life there. The kind if place where if you’re with a nice size group that loves to eat, you can order practically everything on the menu and just savor every dish with friends. Sucks that it’s closing because it was the most reliable spot in Santa Monica to bring out of town people who love food.

Techbros look at food like it’s a requirement, purely a sustenance “problem to solve”. They took over entertainment over the past 5 years, killing off artists who lived in LA and enjoyed culture. No wonder the dining scene is all but dead.

Weird because this entire sub is full of entitled experts who’ve been saying for years that everything is way too expensive and that restaurant owners are ripping everyone off. It’s *almost* like they don’t understand the actual costs and issues associated with running a restaurant in Los Angeles or something. Weird.

Spent one of our wedding anniversaries there, loved the Kaya Toast and Laksa. Their papaya salad was a little too spicy. Will be missed.

Don’t fuck with my Holbox. To be honest let’s just go food courts around LA a la Japan. Cheaper, quicker, and a lot more fun.
