      Doggy bags. A friend told me her sister moved to Houston from Aberdeen Scotland due to oil related work, within weeks her sis put on 42lbs, she learnt that people in Houston eat half out then take the rest home. 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 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.

      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.

    I've been going to Phillipe's since I was a kid and I'm 30 now. It's never not been awesome, try their chili! I also lived down the street from the donut man.

    28:40 Donut Man is something that Glendora is proud of, there are lines going back to the parking area wrapped around the back of the building even at 2 in the morning, some times they have all three windows operating with two lines to try to cut the wait time down to some 10 minutes. Donut Man is THE place to go in Glendora, day night, everyone is friendly and love to talk about doughnuts and how many they wish they could get -- two of everything. The Tiger Tails are also one of Donut Man's other distinguishing features but because they bake 24 hours and sell 24 hours, it's rare for doughnuts to get old on the shelf, things usually sell out quickly -- to the point where Bear Claws and Cinnamon Rolls sell out as quickly as they come off of the racks so only people lucky enough to be there when they hit the racks are able to get them. And yes, I have talked with hundreds of people while waiting in line, people as far away a San Diego and from Baker will divert 20 miles to swing by Donut Man on their way somewhere, and of course the locals love the place.

    As a native Angeleno living in Seattle, I miss these places. There is a site called Goldbelly’s that offers Langer’s pastrami. I’m very happy ordering it when the homesickness gets bad!!

    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.

    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!!

    Out of your very well chosen list, Tito’s is the one that comes closest to a love it or hate it experience. I’ve been going there since 1978 and there’s simply nothing else that tastes like it, for better or worse. If you’re obsessed with some abstract notion of authenticity go eat somewhere else. If you love it you’ll swear by it, if you don’t you’ll probably wish you’d gone to Taco Bell. It can be that polarizing.

      I would never be able to afford that, prime rib is fecking expensive, that piece would probably cost like 35-40 bucks
      Also prime rib is meant to be eaten when it's medium-rare
