Sounds good if we will get some more non meat options. Cannot wait for airside connector to TBIT. Food there is so superior to T4.

Kogi had plenty of non-meat options. But Border Grill is great too so I'm not complaining. ^

I have mixed feelings. I think Kogi > Border Grill, but Kogi LAX wasn't to the same level of greatness as the original Kogi trucks running around.

I may try BG once, but I'm looking forward when they switch brands again in 6-12 months time. Maybe it'll be an In-n-Out truck

Not sure why people are so obsessed with In-n-Out, but maybe it's non-Californians who view it as a special treat? I mean, they were the best burger chain for decades, because their stuff was fresh while others' was frozen, but this century has seen so many burger places with organic, grass-fed, bison, etc. that I can't see any reason to go for In-n-Out.

Still fresh, still high quality, still cheap, still (relatively) fast, still treats their workers well... and it's still hard to find that combo. My alternate is The Habit (though I haven't tried Smashburger yet), and Five Guys is just above average.
Places like Umami and The Counter are in a different space.

I've lived in California for 20+ years now, and still see it as a special treat.

Dunkin Donuts will be opening in T4 in about 2-3 weeks.

As a 40+ years resident of the Los Angeles area, I agree with you 100%.

The food truck in T4 appears to have rotated from Border Grill. New truck occupant is Grilled Cheeze Please!

Now that T4 is connected with TBIT airside, and airside underground tunnel between T4 and T5 has reopened to passengers, if have plenty of time then dinning option is no longer limited to T4.

Last time I was at LAX T4 I saw Dunkin Donuts. Took long time but finally DD is invading West Coast?

Yup, two of them finally in the peripheral bits of the Bay Area (Half Moon Bay and somewhere out in Contra Costa -- Walnut Creek?) From what I hear, been in the Central Valley and LAX area a bit longer.
