A couple of days ago before seeing the
new movie Chef with my cousin Mala, Camille warned me not to see it
hungry. I'd made that mistake before with Julie & Julia and
suffered watching that woman bathe everything in butter while I
munched on snuck in sour candies. So before we headed into the
Arclight we ate at their cafe where I've never had a bad meal. I got
the French dip sandwich with fries and a Sprite. Oh, my god, it was
so good. It has crispy bread but it wasn't the kind that hurts when
you bite into it. I've had sandwiches where the bread was so hard
that I had to take the roof of my mouth to grief counseling
afterward. This had a couple of types of cheeses and was made with
juicy roast beef. Our waiter was really cool and at the cafe they ask
what time your movie starts so they can get your food to you faster.
It's great.
Mala got a good looking steak with
chimichurri and she switched her side to a Caesar salad. I could tell
she liked it by the way her eyes rolled when she cut into it and took
a bite. I'll have to try it the next time I go. I'm sure many people
skip past this place thinking it is expensive, but let me tell you,
it isn't. If you're at the Arclight you are paying $32 for two
tickets. They are worth it! The meal was less than $40. It may sound
like a lot to some but I don't eat out as often as I used to so
spending that much to enjoy a really good meal is more than worth the
price. Next time you head to this theater enjoy your meal and a good
movie all in one place. They have awesome booths, good service, and
if you're feeling saucy you can get one of their adult beverages
which are might powerful!
