"It’s difficult to talk about the year in review when everything changed, when people and businesses suffered during the pandemic. In light of the challenging year for everyone in Los Angeles, we asked food writers and industry folks share their saddest restaurant closures of the year. But that feeling sinks even further when I think about the ones that are permanently gone and we don’t know about them yet. I know they’re all hurting, and it’s not just about not being able to eat Lincoln Carson’s pastry anymore at Bon Temps, or a late night baseball steak at Pacific Dining Car." - Matthew Kang
