Why food decides the pick at LAX
Los Angeles International has 19 lounges in our directory and 17 of them are photographed and scored on the buffet and made-to-order dining. Food scores weigh hot dishes, the range at each mealtime and whether anything is cooked to order, not just how big the buffet looks. This ranking sorts those 17 by their food score alone, with the overall rating breaking ties, so a lounge that is merely fine everywhere else can still win here.
