The Toluca Lake Lunch Guide - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"If there’s such a thing as a Toluca Lake institution, Patys is certainly it. The 60- year-old diner is one of LA’s best and continues to be a haven for just about everyone in the area. Don’t come looking for your spinach and goat cheese crostini here, Patys is filled with your typical diner staples of burgers, reubens, omelettes, and 2,000 calorie salads. And it’s all exactly what you want. The interior is fairly standard, so the move is to head outside under the iconic green awnings and watch all the self-hatred roam past while you eat your chili cheese fries." - brant cox
