"Dan Tana’s is pretty much The Godfather of LA chicken parmesans (and not just because it feels like Don Corleone definitely ate here). This Santa Monica Blvd. spot has been open since 1964, and this dish is a throwback to the days when no one in West Hollywood worried about portion size, trans fats, or putting three pounds of cheese on top of chicken and calling it a meal. The chicken is tender, the seasoned breading is crunchy but not overpowering, and the marinara sauce is a perfect balance of sweet, herby, and salty. If you’re going to make someone an offer they can’t refuse, you do it at Dan Tana’s—and you do it over a plate of their chicken parm." - kat hong, brett keating
