"“If I’m with my family and want to go somewhere that feels nostalgic, I go to Du-pars. It’s about one hundred years old—or at least it feels like it is. It’s also in the Original Farmers Market, which is my favorite thing in Los Angeles. It has a sense of history, it’s food-centric, and it’s old school. I went to Du-par’s for dinner the other night, and I got my favorite thing: a hot open-faced turkey sandwich with gravy, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. I also love a diner breakfast. Their pancakes are world famous, and I like mine with their boysenberry syrup.”" - sylvio martins
