Fabulous review! This should be mandatory reading for any food lover who visits LA. It's wonderful to see someone who really did their homework before coming to town as opposed to going to the same, tired places. You ate like a native, and as an LA denizen, I pretty much agree with your assessments.

A few notes...the Luck Devil's shake is toasted pecan, not almond, and it is awesome.

The Hollywood Farmers Market is pretty similar to the Santa Monica except Hollywood has more prepared food and a bit more local color; many of the vendors are actually the same; both are great and we do appreciate them.

Dodger Dogs suck. If you're a hot dog lover, next time you're in town, try Skooby's in Hollywood or Carney's, with locations in West Hollywood and Studio City.

Next trip, you've got to hit some Thai food and some of our Korean BBQ.

Thanks for writing.
