angelenic: downtown los angeles

Fred Camino lives a car-free lifestyle in Downtown LA. He blogs daily about the Los Angeles Transit Oriented Lifestyle over at MetroRiderLA.

I’m not what you’d call a foodie. Don’t get me wrong, I love food and I love eating out, but I’m a little too low-brow to fit into that group. For example, I say “eating out” instead “dining out”. The people who dine out are the same people who see films in the cinema.

Me? I watch movies… on the internet. When I eat out, I like my food to be cheap, tasty, and fast. I like my restaurants to be friendly, welcoming, and low on bulls#%@. I like it when a restaurant feels like just about anyone would feel comfortable eating there, whether it be a bum or a billionaire.

I dislike it when a restaurant feels the need to have some sort of overriding concept, plasma screens, or house music. I proudly eat at McDonalds a few times a month (their 1/3lb Angus burger with swiss and mushrooms is superb), I was the first to review the Downtown Denny’s on Yelp (4 stars), I think Little Tokyo has the best conglomeration of eating establishments in Downtown, and Colori Kitchen is my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles. I hate “small plates”.

Now that you have a frame of reference, I can move forward and begin my review of Uncle John’s Ham & Eggs.
