It really bugs me how he'll just stick his chubby little fingers into the food the chef is preparing to get a little taste: "mmmm bro, now THAT is how we please on triple ds."

Uhm... You know the cook probably actually wants to serve that 4 gallons of sauce to his actual customers, GUY!

Somehow Oliver has managed to eat at more places in LA, a town he doesn't even live in, than I have eaten at in my home town.  I am rather lazy though and tend to visit the same places repeatedly.

Solvang is a funny place to hang for a day! Such a unique spot.

I still can't clear my inbox. I can only get PMs from moderators fro some reason; not sure what that's about.

Go to Canters for the atmosphere, not the food. It's not bad but it's no great shakes either. It's the criterion for Old Hollywood delis though. It's an institution. Nate 'n Al is B-grade pastrami but their other dishes are all really good. Their sandwiches are better than Canter's or Greenblatt's but they don't compare to Langer's.

Dan Tana's seems like it's more of a scene for regulars who like to get sauced at the bar with b-listers than anything else. The Italian comfort food in canned sauce is bland. The Dabney Coleman is good but overpriced. The decor is more 1980's than mid century and I can't get behind the trendiness and overly long lines. I also have a strong antipathy towards bars with TVs. I don't hate Dan Tana's but I don't really have to go back anytime soon. If they took down the stupid christmas lights and sports decals, dimmed the lighting, ditched the television, it could have potential...
