Best Dishes Eater LA Editors Ate This Week: April 28 | Eater LA

"A longtime, decades-old breakfast spot that buzzes from opening until the last customer leaves, this pure classic diner cranks out pancakes, waffles, omelets, and huevos rancheros at warp speed, showcasing the skill of diner line cooks. Adorable tchotchke signs instruct diners to “Drink Coffee, Do Stupid Things Faster with More Energy” while patrons sit in cozy booths. Regulars clearly keep the place going, and it’s very likely they’re ordering the banana bread: “The Reyn’s version is a formidable competitor, slathered in a generous serving of soft butter.” The bread is firm, not overly sweet, and actually complements a heartier breakfast item like the Ortega supreme scramble with chopped sausage links, Swiss cheese, and Ortega chiles, topped with sour cream and salsa. It’s less than a dollar to get two slices, while an entire loaf is $8, so take some home to enjoy later. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
