There are perhaps a dozen or more books out there about where to eat in Los Angeles, but this is the one recommended by the staff of the Los Angeles Almanac. It has all our favorite calorie-loading haunts as well as many we don't even know about and sure would like to try. What we like best - unlike so many other snobbish L.A. where-to-eat books, this one doesn't ignore the rich culinary terrain of L.A. County's Eastside (Taco King rules!). Keep this guidebook in your glovebox along with your Thomas Guide!

If you are in LA and you are hungry then you need this book. Heck, you don't even have to be in LA or hungry, this is one swell book. Lots of fun to read, informative yet witty without being silly. The section on Cheese Breads alone is worth the price.

We have now tried out about 10 of the places in this book, and have not been disappointed yet! This is a great guide for those of us that are looking for good (sometimes even great) food without spending a lot of money. Most telling, while we always check out Hungry? before we head out into a new part of LA, we never even glance at our Zagat guide (which was given as a gift 3 year ago when we moved here)! Zagat may be good if you've got money to spend, but the Hungry? guide is the one to get if you're looking for some hidden gems in LA.
