More often than not we hear those on the Westside lamenting the absence of good Chinese fare or a decent taqueria, but Jonathan Gold notes that Eastsiders also complain (albeit more quietly) about the dearth of white tablecloths. Like so many things in life, the grass is always greener…and the tortillas always fresher…on the other side. Hear Jonathan and Evan’s conversation below.
