Bummer, I was really looking forward to trying this play when I saw the signage. I might still try it, but 4 bucks for two small burgers seems a little steep. Hopefully, they adjust their prices down a bit, or give you 3 for $4 in the near future.

I've been to this location, and while I didn't try the burger, the BBQ is just OK. A little pricey for what you get. My ribs weren't that meaty. Of course, the next week I went to Phil's BBQ down in San Diego and it blew Baby Blues out of the water.

I second Serious Eats LA. And I would love to write for them too ;)

You can't encapsulate LA's best food into such a small list. "Shelly" left a lot of good, if not better places off the list, but I'm sure it's culled from years of reviews, and not very current.

But IN N OUT is an LA institution CafePhine, more than Pie & Burger. Last time I went to 25 degrees, it wasn't that good. Lucky Devils is better. Wonder if she's ever tried it?

It is troubling that the best Chinese she could come up with it Chinois on Main. I do find myself thinking, more often than not, where to find good Chinese without driving through miles of traffic to the SGV.

Bone in cowboy rib eye. I've even had a bone in buffalo rib eye recently, to die for!

Carney's is hang over food. When you're already dehydrated, hung over and starving and what you need is grease. Also, I think their chili dogs are better than their burgers. If you want a Chili Burger go to the original Tommy's. Eating at the Tommy's in the Beverly Center just isn't the same.

I just tried a brand new soul food spot in LA called the Waffle Factory. It's alive and kicking here in LA...
