Somehow (and I would never book this for myself, so I'm inclined to believe that Delta did more than change my departure time) I have a four-hour layover in LAX tomorrow. It's been eons since I've done more than sit on the tarmac while more people board my plane there. Are there any good restaurants in the airport itself? Are the security queues as bad as I assume they are, thus leaving me inclined not to go outside security?

On the upside, I should definitely be able to make a dent in my reading/translation backlog.

I'm not sure about LAX's restaurants, but I usually find that Au Bon Pain has the best airport food. I think it's because it's coldcuts and their staff assembles the sandwiches at the airport.

If LAX has one, I'd totally recommend it for airport food. Au Bon Pain's stuff is pretty much guaranteed to be actual food, as opposed to most of what one can find (after it's defrosted and microwaved) at airports. Au Bon Pain's orange juice is also extremely delicious.

Au Bon Pain is also pretty reasonably priced for airport food, in my recollection.

I ate there at least once a week in high school. It sounds like I'll just find somewhere to park myself and hang out. :)
