"This really should be lower on the list, but it’s ultimately subjective and my editor said I could write whatever I want. So, what can I say about Downtown LA Sugarfish? I worked here for a few months. It was hard as hell (that power broker lunch rush is no joke). The people wearing aprons here are some of the smartest, most efficient, and determined human beings on the planet - they can balance eight trays of tuna sashimi on each arm and won’t even blink when you say you dropped the wrong food at the wrong table for the third time that night. Parking is impossible, lines will be long, and the trash bin was always so far away from the building. Seriously, like a five-minute walk and you had to get buzzed in by some random building security person. Lame. But the move here is to come at around 2-3pm on weekdays, and at 11am sharp on weekends. Which might seem obvious, but at this particular location, means the difference between a two-hour wait and none at all." - kat hong
