DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — This week's issue of the LA Weekly looks at where to eat Downtown on a budget. A couple of their entries may stretch the definition of Downtown a little farther west than I would take it, and the list isn't too comprehensive, but it includes Chinatown and Little Tokyo, area's I've done a poor job of exploring.

They do tackle the french dip issue, though they don't allude to the controversy:
