The Most Classic Restaurants In Los Angeles
"The Apple Pan isn't a museum, but stepping into this burger counter does feel like visiting a well-preserved landmark (motto: Quality Forever). The staff wears classic soda jerk hats as they flip burgers and slice wedges of banana cream pie. There's some plaid wallpaper on display, red leather chairs at the counter, and a general hominess that's impossible to replicate. The ham sandwich and tuna melt are stealth favorites, but the required order is the delicious, if divisive, Hickory Burger, with its sweet-tangy sauce that falls between ketchup and barbecue. It's a true LA original, and you won't find another burger in town quite like it. Hickory burger, french fries, banana cream pie" - brant cox, cathy park, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
