Great Restaurants Near LAX via @LATimesFood

Posted in At the Terminal, Domestic US, LAX

If you won’t be chowing down on a pre-made box of hummus and beef jerky on your flight and the new dining options in the airport itself don’t get you going (although they should! Check out Petrossian, Rock & Brews, Kogi, and more!), surely you want to know where to eat near LAX.

Luckily, my friend Josh Lurie of FoodGPS wrote this excellent story for the LA Times about the best food options in the general LAX vicinity. All the credit goes to Josh for this list, but I wholeheartedly advise you to check out Coni’Seafood and Pann’s. They’re both great examples of what LA has done for food both now and in the past.
