Good. They charge too much anyways for bad food. Prepared by people with dirty hands who go to the bathroom, do their business, then come out, touch our food, and pass along their germs. There is no sense of sanitation from these businesses because the city of LA doesnt hold them accountable. I hope most of these restaurants go out of business.
People need to stay home, make their own food, and have a sense of modesty instead of throwing away money they dont have from their credit cards to give away to restaurants that dont give a hoot about the customers who support them.

I won't stop eating out. I hate to cook. Groceries cost money too. So does using gas and electricity at home. But I rarely eat at high end restaurants. I like small cafes, vegetarian bistros, cafeterias, family diners, and fast food places. I also like some of the chain places that give a pretty good value like IHOP, Cheesecake Factory, and some others.

better be careful what you wish for. Sit down restaurants and chains have much larger meals than most people would make at home and even larger calorie and fat counts than fast food! and of course you pay extra for that privilege.

I find it interesting that there are relatively few restaurant options in the West Valley and that places like Gorikee have closed up. I went there once and wasn't too impressed, but it seemed to be a popular spot. The only thing I can think if is people in the West Valley don't dine out too much?

It's amazing that the countless restaurants in West L.A, Hollywood ,etc can stay in business.

I think the places that offer a good value will stay around. But i'm guessing that the Valley being more "Family Oriented" is not great for the restaurant business.
