LA BURGER

[jat]

I love the apple pan hamburgers, Hickory smoked, old fashioned cups, hot fries and

apple pie.

Talk about great service. I get really messy, drippy, and I have had my napkin replaced IN HAND with a new napkin several times, just when I needed another one.

Perfect hickory smoke, cheddar cheese, lettuce just wilted. I have to eat two.

That is a good idea....Maybe I will go get one this weekend!

If you are a burger fan there is a place called B and R in Hawthorne that makes a great 1lb royal burger... chili, cheese, egg, bacon, onions and the rest....best burger in the south bay hands down!..Its on Rosecrans just west of Crenshaw.....old ladies make the patties by hand!..If you have been to Mo betta meatty meat....its better!

CC, more on the Apple Pan:

Your enrance is announced via the screen doors with a screech and a slam. On a busy day you line up along the walls. And that's where the honor system takes

place. First come, first serve.

Although there are a number of favorites on the menu, my choice is the

Hickory Smoked Burger. It is dripping with the right combo of Tillamok cheddar

cheese, pickles, lettuce and hickory smoke sauce.

For those of you not able to go, my home brew of the sauce is tomato ketschup and

hickory smoke, in a saucepan over the stove.

They are closed on Mondays, 101 off Pico, across from the mall. 310 475-3585

CC, Is your wife going to the BHCS? When? Oct./Nov?

I'm with you all the way, jat, just two corrections. 1) Apple Pan is off the 405, not the 101, on Pico, across from the mall (Westside Pavilion).

2) I ask for double the tillamook on my hickory burger!

Damn! I never thought of doubling down on the cheese.

I love the atmosphere and the ideosyncrasies of the Apple Pan, and the burgers are enjoyable. One of the few places in LA with palpable, honest-to-goodness vibe. I'm sorry to disagree, but, I'm not a fan of the pies - visually appealing, but disappointing in flavor and texture, IMHO.

Is "Pie and Burger" in Pasadena still there? I have fond memories of going to look at the Rose Parade floats Jan 2 and then eating at P&B.

Alive and kicking. Guy who owned it sold it (cheaply, I'm told) to one of his employees who's carrying on.

When I mentioned the name Russ Parsons, my husband said,

"Parsons, isn't that one of the ingredients that goes in a quiche?"

"Hark! I hear hearts shattering all over the world because he doesn't like

the apple pan." Oh well to each his own. The most important thing is

there will be one less person in line, and I'll get a seat that much faster.
