Revisiting his solid “Seven Things to Hate About L.A. (Lunching That Is)” series, Midtown Lunch minister Zach Brooks shares his venom for Umamicatessen, who dares to put pastrami on a plate within “a five-mile radius of Langer’s.” Calling the new venture “hipster deli food,” he chides Adam Fleischman’s newest project for calling itself a “food court” and stabs at the sandwich for bearing a fourteen-dollar price tag with an unappealing appearance. Thankfully, that’s just him getting started, with six more classic complaints about our lunch scene. [Midtown Lunch]
