Which restaurant concepts are not currently in LA, but you would like to see open?

Fair point on COVID. I wonder if Mei Lin would be selling Chicken Sandwiches or still running Nightshade if there was not pandemic. I hope the former but for the economic reasons pointed out by others on this thread I’m not so sure, though I’m sure if she’d held out until her Food Net stardom the answer would probably be yes.

Didn’t someone mention fairly recently that Hsi Lai Temple has vegetarian food at lunchtime?

Thanks. I’ve heard of this place, but never been. I guess I meant somewhere more centrally located in LA.

Baroo has a strong Buddhist vegetarian influence.

Especially now that they have a purely vegetarian or vegan menu! I would say that Baroo’s flavor profile is pretty different than Chinese style Buddhist restaurants @100percentdoghair was looking for, so just be aware of that if you decide to go. I hope you would love it though.
