LPL's transformed itself in the last coupla years
overloaded, there's even a Burger King now. I hear their Michelin Star got lost in the post though... But the old food wasn't so bad, free use of the defibrillator if you'd had sausage & chips, all good northern fodder me lad...
Speaking of which, my favourite airside eats at LAX is Jody Maroni's in the UAL terminal. You can even eat at the bar - Redondo Beach microbrew, if memory serves. Tasted great at 10am after a trans-Pacific, mmm.
