ANYWHERE close to you….

In-N-Out Burger

There is one near the airport so you can stop there on you way back.  Give yourself an hour.  Make sure to order your burger and fries “Animal Style”.  It’s a secret menu item – cheese, grilled onions, and special sauce, an it’s pretty dope!

HOLLYWOOD/WEST HOLLYWOOD

The Griddle Cafe – breakfast or brunch
7916 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90046

Amazing red velvet pancakes.  No reservation system and they are first come, first served. You will see a line outside and it will be a 30 minute wait, but it’s well worth it.

SUR Restaurant and Lounge

K-TOWN (KOREA TOWN)
Boiling Crab

3377 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010

https://theboilingcrab.com/locations/koreatown/

This is better than any “crab in a bag” place you’ve had in Atlanta.  I can guarantee that. I get this every single time I go to LA – no matter where I stay.  NO reservation platform and the line is LONG AF.  Get there 15 – 30 minutes before they open so you don’t have a two-hour wait – no exaggeration.

Make sure your seasoning is “the whole shebang”.
