Redefining "Best"
This is why publications should never rely on readers for their "Best of L.A." issues.

The Downtown News came out with its annual "Best of Downtown" issue this week, and while some choices are fine, if not a little too obvious (Best Deli: Langer's), some of the other best restaurant choices are downright embarrasing.

Particularly this one: Downtown News' readers picked Panda Express as downtown's Best Chinese.

Wait. Chinatown is right there. Empress Pavilion. Sam Woo's. And the Downtown News readers picked frickin' Panda Express, now available in virtually every shopping mall in America?! What's next, best taco: Taco Bell?! (Now, in Los Angeles, that would be even more sacreligious.)
