Because I am a student of her work I was just skimming the following Jessica Alba item…

“There are times when I want nothing more than to be alone. And, far from understanding that, people seem to find it alarming. Out in LA, it bugs me that it’s almost impossible to dine out alone. Everyone feels bad for you. For some reason, waiters, chefs, even strangers feel the need to come and talk to you. They ask,’How’s the food? Did someone not show up?’”

…and the comment — fabricated or otherwise — got me thinking about where I like to go when I’m hungry and alone in L.A. Besides the chain coffee shops, do you have any restaurants or cafes that you recommend where you can eat and think without having to endure a pity party? Or is there just something inarguably sad about a person breaking bread alone?
