La Grande Orange’s Egg Salad Sandwich

A sandwich, salad or burger at La Grande Orange will set you back $8 to $14 — not exactly unusual for a Santa Monica lunch spot. But then there’s that $9 bag of giant house-made sourdough English muffins that you won’t be able to bike home without. The bargain hunter’s solution? The “cheap egg salad [...]

Turkey Burgers

Most turkey burgers are generic things, coming out of the mass-produced, Foster Farms operation, making a person wonder if they really are a more responsible choice than beef burgers.
