Steak burger
$$, Burgers, American, West Los Angeles
"I grew up here, and every Sunday, my family and I would go to The Apple Pan. The same guy who served me when I was 10 years old is still there, and 35 years later, he's wearing the same baseball belt to hold up his apron. He doesn’t know it, but he’s probably been the most consistent elderly figure in my life. My rules: steak burger over hickory burger, don’t dare order the tuna salad, and remember to leave room for a slice of their great banana cream pie."
