There are also very limited services airside in B, so you're limited to an expensive sandwich if you're flying after work and want to get dinner at the airport, though that may matter less if you're always in F. On the upside, the little strip mall just outside the airport is a very short walk away and has some ok options - I tend to do pickup/dropoff there, rather than in the airport loop.
Also LAX has the Alaska Lounge. For me I really love LAX over BUR as I can walk between Terminals TBIT-Terminal 8 all airside so when time permits I can grab a bite to eat or use the lounge and watch the planes. BUR is small but by the time I fly into LAX I Can get to West LA in no time at all.
