With its baby-preparation facilities crippled by last week's kitchen explosion (quickly: do you remember exactly where you were when the Creative Artists Death Star nearly blew up?), nearby Century City eateries find themselves increasingly responsible for the feeding of swarms of hungry agents unwilling to gobble down their brown-bagged infants while sitting at their desks. The Knife looks at Century City bistro La Cachette, which has seen a healthy increase in business since CAA moved to the neighborhood:

At La Cachette, I don't think anyone has installed a Kevin Huvane mugshot at the hostess stand... yet. For now, they're treating everyone well. [...]

At lunch on Monday, the 100-seat dining room was about 50% filled. "We've definitely seen an increase since CAA moved to Century City," the hostess told me, smiling. "It's really nice."

While restaurants like La Cachette are enjoying the boost that being convenient to CAA brings, if they don't quickly tailor their culinary offerings to appeal to the baby-craving palates of their new customers, they'll inevitably lose the lucrative lunchtime business to casual eateries like the Fuddruckers at the Westfield Century City food court, which is already wooing time-conscious agency diners by offering a delicious menu of speciality burgers like the one pictured, available in an impressive variety of pre-cooking birth weights.
