Where to get takeout in L.A. right now? Our critic has suggestions
Since the shutdown of dine-in restaurants on March 15, I’ve been eating mostly carryout, doing what little I can to help while watching chefs, restaurateurs and their employees fight for their livelihoods. These businesses are devising ever-evolving strategies; every day brings fresh options announced on social media and delivery apps, conceived from dire necessity and on-the-fly creativity.
Given economic feasibility and concerns for the health of their employees, some places I ordered from last week have already closed. Josef Centeno shut down his four restaurants; he’s cooking solo in his kitchen, preparing meals for staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. After a fire sale to get rid of its remaining produce and premade food, Silver Lake’s All Day Baby is reopening sporadically.
Workers have shown uniform care in my interactions with them. Drivers practiced contactless delivery or have done so graciously when asked. For takeout, I find more restaurants marking spots on the ground for customers to stand safely apart, placing to-go orders outside or smartly scheduling staggered pickup times to avoid crowds.

But restaurants remain my beat, and many cannot afford to shoulder the high commissions charged by some delivery apps; by retrieving my own food I save them that added expense, which can be as much as 30% of the meal’s cost.
So here are seven highlights from my first week of takeout and delivery. These restaurants are in operation as of publication. Like you, I’m looking for comfort in every form; it’s the theme that unites these meals. Check restaurants’ websites and/or social media — or, a throwback idea, pick up the phone and call — to be certain of current hours and menus, which are frequently changing. We have anWhat’s especially hard for many of us right now is the feeling of ineffectiveness.
