Shack on the corner of prosser and pico blvd. the only spot in los angeles that can out-do pink's chili. also home of the combo, which is a hot dog and hamburger all in the form of a hamburger, amazing.

Apple Pan

Pico blvd. just east of westwood blvd. fabulous burgers and pies since 1947.

Sunnin

Authentic lebanese hole-in-the-wall on westwood blvd. just north of santa monica blvd., next to the chevron gas station. healthy, filling, authentic and dirt cheap lebanese fare. if the line is out the door which it often is, grab it to go. sit at the counter and watch toni the owner run her kitchen like a drill sergeant!

Tacos A La Flama

Olympic blvd. and bundy drive, in strip mall next to subway and leeds mattresses. mexican taco stand offering tacos, burritos, sopes and the like. adventurous eaters can try tacos de lengua beef tongue, cabeza beef cheek, tripa tripe and buche beef esophagus.

Across the street from ramayani westwood above. authentic persian food served fresh, hot and in huge portions. l.a. has the largest persian community in the world outside iran, and westwood is their cultural hub. there are several persian restaurants on westwood blvd. between wilshire and pico, but this one is the best of the lot.

Delicious restaurant located at the Westside Pavilion Shopping Mall, food is an American cuisine that has a luxury taste at a moderate price. Atmosphere is relaxed and clean, with good ambient lighting. Go upstairs and are some theaters. Catch an arts film or the newest blockbuster

Chez Mimi

26th street and san vicente blvd., brentwood. country french cuisine in a converted house and courtyard. outstanding romantic spot. micheline hebert, the owner, is french-canadian, so there are always a few french-canadian specialties on the menu.
