On restaurant row, don't forget...

And ABSOLUTELY, don't forget
Fatburger!

Long gone, but boy, how many times did I limp over the that round Fatburger hut at La Cienega and San Vicente for a king cheese with bacon and chili after a night of too much drinking. It could be quite a scene on Friday or Saturday night, after the bars closed.
Funny thing but most of those big places on restaurant row weren't really that good -- most were overblown tourist joints, riding on undeserved or extinct reputations...sort of like all those surf & turf places in Marina Del Rey, that never see a local customer. But it was fun to drive down La Cienega and look at all the signs.
