   Sarah, how cool are you for organizing this list!!! =) I was actually a sucka and bought this issue and while reading the 25 cheap eats article, found myself going, "Ooooh this looks good; Cool! It's near work!" and then going, "Ooooh, I wanna go there too, awww man, it's in the South Bay, I'll have to wait..." My eyes were all over the page trying to find stuff in my hood. So thanks again!

   So Sarah - You'll be going to everyone of these places? Yikes! Including all the IMBB stuff, and other projects you've got going, that'll be quite an undertaking...

   Thanks for puting the list up =)

   Can I ask why you don't want to try the Thai places? I'm actually surprised that Ganda is on the list. I prefer Yai Restaurant on Hollywood in the same area. Also, at Sunshine Restaurant in North Hollywood, you can get small plates of authentic Thai items hard to find in the U.S. Just thinking about it makes me reminisce about my last visit to my homeland last year....

   Nice list, but does $25 and under really count as cheap eats? The only restaurant that I have visited from this list is the Counter for lunch... it wasn't very cheap. It was very good though :)

   thanks again, lindsay, for putting the list up in the first place! and you're welcome to pam, for doing the geo-sort ;) after quality, my tastes are driven by location, lol!

   xericx: tell me more about onami! is it one i should leave off my list to try?

   kirk: maybe you should put together your own top 25 cheap eats for SD :)

   nan: well, the thing is, i am not exactly fond of thai food. it just doesn't seem to do it for me the way other cuisines do. nothing wrong with thai overall, just my silly peculiar tastebuds!

   big lu: um, yeah, i wasn't quite sure how $25 per person is CHEAP either, but i guess compared to a dinner at urasawa or bastide...;)

    went to el nido and the food was good. the grilled skirt steak was excellent as well as the crab soup (don't get this if you don't like fishy foods).

    I love Onami!!!
    Did you know they prep fresh fish every morning, I mean FRESH compare to those frozen ones... If, you going to try this place, I strongly recommend you visit during the week days because it's CHEAPER than weekends. I don't know why the price higher on weekends when they serve the same menu. Service/Quality I give it a four star.

    The Counter has HUGE burgers with anything and everything you can imagine on them...for less than 10 bucks!

    I don't know what you had there, but try the burgers. For real.

    Gingergrass is delightful and located very close to the art district in Silverlake.

    I agree with the first O-Nami nay-sayer. It's not that great.
