Phillipe was extremely popular during the pandemic. Huge takeout orders kept them humming along. One of the companies in the area ordered 70+ sandwiches every day. The downtown LA businesses helped each other. Pleasantly surprised by the sense of community in the City of Glitz.

But in the UK places don’t do that due to H&M’s and you need to sign a disclaimers for taking sit in food out. Also. My friend her sister who is in her 50s grew up with that clean your plate mentality that a lot of postwar generations grew up with.

The doughnut shop story is so lovely. The American dream. Community. Making wonderful, delightful, over the top things and prospering off the land's bounty. This is the America I've missed hearing about!

My grandpa grew up in Culver city and always went to Titos. My grandparents first date was there. Went there in March and was great.

Remember my mom taking me to Philippe's 50 years ago! had a lamb dip last weekend Still great!

My parents took me to Philippe's when I was a kid in the fifties. I was there a few weeks ago, when I visited LA for Christmas. They haven't changed. They're great. BTW they're only a block from Olvera Street and Union Station. Go have fun.

Philippe's before a Dodger game, that's a family tradition. Beef and pork for me, double-dipped. Those nice crusty rolls stand up great to all the dunking, and the jus is sooooooo tasty. Do watch out for the mustard, though -- that stuff will singe your nose hairs off, so taste a little dab before you get liberal with it. You gotta know what you're getting into. I've never been to the frankie place, though -- that sounds completely like my kinda jam. Gonna try that for sure!!

Shout out to Edelweiss! My gf at the time, now wife, is from Germany. Born and raised there and the Edelweiss flower has meaning to her as I'm sure it does for a lot of Germans, so giving her chocolates from a specialty chocolate shop named after a symbolic flower really got me in her good graces lol. She married me, so it worked! 😂

In the 50s and 60s it was sit down service with professional waiters in uniformed black pants and white shirts. Most were elder gentlemen adding to the old school ambiance. I went often. I forgot about the Langers Deli. I lived close to Canters on Fairfax but recall grabbing pastrami sandwiches to take home after working for Transamerica Corporation, one of the first conglomerates that included Occidental Insurance on Hill Street.

Wow! This looks so amazingly delicious! Thank you for sharing this. 🙌🙌🙌

Everything is great but the STRAWBERRY DONUTS ARE DIVINE PERFECTION.

Been to Philippe’s, been to the donut shop (they also make peach), I got those donuts for a bake sale!!! Been to Langer’s, the #19 is that pastrami sandwich!! Tito’s Tacos was my lunch spot!! I worked in the area.. My earliest memory of going to Lawry’s is when I was about 3yrs old!! Best garlic mashed potatoes!!

The Donut Man, originally called Foster's Donuts, opened when I was in jr. high (now called 'middle school') back in '72. It was an instant hit, and kids all clamored for their daily donuts. I always wondered why they changed the name, but then realized another iconic Glendora establishment, Foster's Freeze, may have been a factor. You couldn't just say, "Meet me at Foster's" because then you had to figure out which Foster's to go to. And yes, Donut Man's donuts are absolutely fantastic. They took 2nd place in a national donut contest some years back.

Love your show. Love the struggle to success stories. Love that a humble gas station can have some of the best food in the city. Love the hard work and love put into the hard work. The food experience is just wow, the preparation, presentation, partaking and breaking bread. It's a good thing too I'm all the way out here in East Africa....only way to stay slim away from that yummy yum stuff! Covid19 may mean a lot of take away for the time being.

If you're ever in Los Angeles again, you HAVE to stop at Edoughble Sweet Shop on South Robertson Boulevard! The edible cookie dough there is absolutely incredible, and the employees are super kind. Six out of five stars!

Langer's pastrami sandwich is looking delish 🤤🤤🤤

Just moved to SF this year after being born and raised in LA all my life & it really says something about these places that I can recognize them all of them just from the pictures in the intro...😋 Man I miss all these places so much.

The top of the sandwich have a layer of crust that form during baking. Like Toast edge. It doesn't absorb the liquid because they only dunked it for less than 3 seconds. The middle part are soft and light, it absorb the liquid in 1 second.

This was awesome! Born and raised in LA, I’ve only been to 2 of the 8 restaurant you featured! I’m honestly shocked and will have some driving (and eating )to do...regardless of these crazy Covid times.

I've been to all of these places, except Langer's...mainly because I just can't bring myself to spend that much on a sammich. The most overhyped is Tito's. I grew up on Tito's, as it's in my neighborhood. Sometimes I drive by and purchase a Tito's Taco...just to remind myself how meh it is.
