There are great moments in every Free Lunch that don't make it into the final piece, but we didn't want to leave them out entirely -- our guest critics are just too insightful to leave their comments unaired.

And so we present Extra Helpings, a clip show of sorts where Angelenos hold forth on the best farmers' markets, disposable income, misunderstanding chili, and other topics of interest to the L.A. food enthusiast.
