Home Boy Cafe (but it's really still serving Broiche Dore food) Nr 41
Sammy's Woodfired Pizza Nr 43
Farmer's Market/Grab and Go (Temporary/Mobile Cart) Nr 44
Farmer's Market/Grab and Go (Temporary/Mobile Cart) Nr 45
Starbucks Nr 44
Starbucks Baggage Claim Area
Coming Soon ETA Sept 2013
Food Court aka Angelino's Market
Real Food Daily - Vegan Food
LA Gourmet Street Truck - Restaurant or Concept will Rotate Every Few Months
Campanile = California French Gourmet
Cole's = French Dipped Sandwiches
Closed
Chili's nr 42B Not coming back
Burger King nr 42B Not coming back
FYI, there are some options next door at TBIT that are pre-security if you have extra time. I can recommend Daily Grill as one of them. There's also a McDonald's and a Panda Express.

Just landed from DCA and the new food court is open. Yay?
I'm personally going to miss the Chili's and it looks like we'll all miss the amount of seating offered as the new area has less seats. Think Vegas-style brand-name food court crossed with the eating area at LAX T1.
Overall, looks disappointing. I'll go eat there now and see how it really turns out.

This might have been asked in another thread but is there ANYTHING open food wise before security in the Tom Bradley Terminal? I know the food court on the upper level (with the McDonalds etc) is all closed, but is there anything by the way of food?
Also, is the ground level area (where there was duty free and two Newslink stores) still open?
It is a joke if there is literally nowhere to eat before security at LAX. Even teh Encounter Restaurant is gone.

Is the tunnel to T4 open yet? Can you do TSA at TBIT , get some take out and walk airside or land side to T4?
The AA terminals at ORD and JFK are so far ahead... you can even get more choice at HNL and that is saying something.

No. You may want to subscribe to the other thread discussing it ( http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...nection-3.html ) but the tl;dr is maybe late 2015 sometime, maybe later.
I don't think you can get through TSA at TBIT without having a ticket departing TBIT, and given the security lines there you'd need a fairly long layover to do so even if you wanted to.
Having gotten used to the old T3 eating options at SFO especially during the period after 9/11 when you could not easily get to the fast food on the United concourse, LAX T4 doesn't seem all that bad to me especially with the new options opening up (however slowly.)

I only ever flew UAL out of SFO and they had good Sushi place then and the food in First Lounge was really good.

I spent the second half of the 1990s basically shuttling back to the Bay Area and college in New England every 4-6 weeks to see my then-girlfriend/now-wife, so I got really sick of the fast food at SFO and BOS back then.
