Here's what I miss, there were these two hole in the wall restaurants in LA that we discovered,we would travel for an hour due to traffic. The food was amazing and we would always have time to chat with the owner and staff, it was always just a few tables filled, beautiful paintings. Then one day, we went to one of them and the line was out the door, inside was packed. The owner was surprised at the growth but some Hispters put it on yelp with good reviews and it just blew up from there.

The quality of the food went down in a big way, especially the speciality drinks they would make but the owner was able to open up 3 more of those restaurants. The other restaurant still hasn't been discovered and is not on yelp but we haven't been since the pandemic. I guess,something is lost and something is gained but I miss finding high quality, low trafficked restaurants and sharing them with close friends.
