So, I just lunched at Cosmo Street Editorial with the lovely women of Shortlist Reps. We had Babaloo, which is not a character from the jungle book but rather a Caribbean food place somewhere in the Santa Monica area. Everything was delicious, I would especially recommend the Ahi Tuna Sandwich, which has that weird Ahi Tuna taste that you don't quite understand but you know it's good because your uppity friends told you that that is the mark of good Ahi Tuna. Don't shake your head, you know exactly what I mean.
The real winners here though are aficionados of canned beverages. There are two refrigerators dedicated to soft drinks and they have anything you could ever want. I had a Hawaiian Punch for the first time since I was seven (my mom stopped letting me have them after I drank a whole jug and then ran through a wall, only to return 3 days later in tattered clothes mumbling about running with the wolves and demanding more Red Goodness). The selection is mind blowing; any soft drink you've ever wanted, including three sodas that are banned in the states.
All in all, I give the dining experience at Cosmo Street / Shortlist a big thumbs up. The food was wonderful, but it really doesn't matter: I would eat a piece of wood if I could chase it down with Hawaiian Punch. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I just saw one of the editor's kids take the last HP; I'm going to steal it right out of his little hand, grab his Big Wheel Tricycle, and make my break for it.

Being also a Charlie, and also being one who eats, but most of all, being a Charlie who eats at Cosmo each day, I can mostly relate to your experience.
You should stay next time until mid-afternoon, when the wine and cheese and surprise afternoon delight platter comes out. Each day something that excites the senses.
