The lamprais from Baja Subs in Northridge is a baked packet of short-grain rice accompanied by sambal, meat curry, eggplant curry, a boiled egg, and frikadeller, exuding fragrant banana leaves and balanced spice. It's a comforting dish ideal for solo dining, especially during weekday visits for a buffet offering a wider array of flavors.

Over the past year, I've been secretly enjoying the lunch salad bar buffet at Fogo de Chão in El Segundo, an outpost of the Brazilian steakhouse chain.

A breakfast burrito is an ideal way to start the day, with savory elements like eggs, bacon, cheese, and potatoes wrapped in a tortilla. Open Market's version stands out for its simplicity, balance, and ability to hold all ingredients without getting soggy or oily.
