Who's Hungry?

A short list of some of my favorite places to grub in L.A.:

1. L & L Hawaiian BBQ - Link. Best place to get a Plate Lunch. Started way back when in Hawaii and have been springing up around L.A. like 7-11s. What's a Plate Lunch? *GASP* - it's carb heaven. Usually some kind of fried meat accompanied by the traditional two scoops of rice and a scoop of mayo-enriched Potato-Macaroni salad.

2. Tito's Tacos - Link. A small shack-like restaurant right next to the 405 Fwy on Sepulveda and Washington. It's easy to find -- look for the Mexican restaurant with a huge crowd. The tacos are insaaaaane. The shells are ultra greasy and crunchy, the meat is perfectly seasoned. Add cheese, tomatos, and lettuce and it's taco nirvana. One of the few fast food joints where you don't mind waiting in a long line.

3. Kua Aina - I had to mention this one even though it recently closed. One of the best burgers ever. Fortunatley, there's still two in Hawaii (Honolulu and Haleiwa) so check them out if you ever travel to the islands. You will NOT be disappointed.

4. Sharkeys - Best nachos. Period.

Damn. I'm hungry now...
