The 16 Best Restaurants Near LAX - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"You spent a cross-country flight sandwiched between someone sobbing about a recent breakup (who wouldn’t stop talking after you finally asked if he was OK) and the world’s most aggressive typist. Now that you’re free, all you want is excellent food, preferably in a place where people don’t burst into tears every ten minutes. Jame has the food covered, and we’ve yet to see anyone crying there—also, it’s just a short drive away from LAX in El Segundo. The pastas are fantastic, and seeing as all you ate on the flight was a crumbled granola bar, you deserve to order at least two of them. Plus a slice of the key lime pie." - cathy park, brant cox
