5 comments about Hungry? Los Angeles The Lowdown On Where The Real People Eat!.

1. As a newcomer to Los Angeles, Hungry? has saved me countless hours of driving aimlessly through the city streets in search of decent yet cheap (I'm currenly job-hunting) places to eat. The write-ups are quick and to the point, and include the information I truly want to know. It is especially invaluable in a city as large as LA, where there may be 10 different Thai restaurants within a four block radius, with no indication of which one is truly good and which one may give you food poisoning. Unlike the stuffy Zagat guide, which assumes everyone has tons of disposable income, this book is -- as the title suggests -- for real people who just want great food at a reasonable price.



2. "Hungry" is disappointing. I mostly agree with the first reviewer, though I'm not a big Zagat fan -- Jonathan Gold's book "Counter Intelligence" is better than Zagat or "Hungry."

   And it's hilarious that every "review" since the first one has been an utter rave, and they all voted the first review "not useful"...they're not very subtle about their ballot-box stuffing! :-)

   Anyway, don't take the phony votes at face-value - if you have to, thumb through it at a bookstore before you buy.




3. Was given a copy of this for christmas, and thought it was so funny (you gotta read the review for the french place that talks about Emanuelle Beart--Ooo La La) that I just got another one for a friend who moved out here from back east. The little taglines for the restaurants are hilarious.

   Only thing is that you have to get another book (called thirsty) for all the places that are just bars. But it's a really big book, so I suppose it actually makes sense why they split them up.

5. there are several other food guides that are both more informative and better reads. unless youre just looking to add this to your collection of restauant guides, dont bother.
