Oh the Places We Will Go…

Between the holidays, vacation, and this damn economy, things have really slowed down here at Lunch in Hawthorne. Today we set out to try one of the few remaining restaurants, but failed and ended up at East Side Deli instead. It's still good, but I figured instead of reviewing it again, I would put together a list of the places we've yet to visit. This way we can check them off one at a time, cause I wouldn't want this blog to be incomplete before we move onto lunch on another street, now would I. A Pizza Scholls- Not open for lunch Aqui- Not technically on Hawthorne, but close enough.We…

Lunch on Hawthorne’s Hawaiian Vacation!

Never fear loyal Lunch on Hawthorne readers, we haven't given up on our mission. No, Jared and I just went on vacation! Being the dedicated blogger I am, I obviously took photos of every meal I ate, and am taking this opportunity to post a some-what unrelated Hawaii food super post!

Today we cheated on Hawthorne Blvd and crossed the bridge to eat at an old favorite, Vegetarian House. One thing that I have noticed by eating at a bunch of new places is that most are not really that great for lunch.

One of the things that is awesome about eating lunch out is lunch specials. The midday meal is often less expensive than eating out for dinner, or even breakfast, so ideally, the restaurants serving lunch should recognize that. To put a value on…

Who’s Paying for This?

Since starting a food blog I have been asked the same questions over and over, so I figured I might as well write a blog and answer them. 1) Why are you doing this? Are you trying to get free food? The first part of this question is answered here, but basically, we want to eat lunch at every restaurant on Hawthorne because it's a fun project and nothing else. Everyone wants a free lunch, but as you may have heard, there is no such thing. So no, we are not trying to get free food. 2) Who is paying for this? We are. Jared and I alternate who pays…
