I thought we could start a thread with best places to eat around So Cal. I love finding new food joints. Name & location. Let's stay on topic. Mods/admins...can we make this a sticky?

Price range as follows:
= $10 or less per person
= $10 to $20 per person
= $20 to 30 per person
= $30 to $40 or more per person
= $40 or more per person

(These prices DO NOT include alcohol )

1. Brazilian BBQ "Greenfield" - 5305 E Pacific Coast Hwy, Long Beach - (562) 597-0906

Greenfield is awesome.

I enjoy little hole in the wall places. because they have the best food and prices.


Mexican Seafood. Marsicos Chentes on Imperial not far from Crenshaw. very simple dishes. if you order shrimp, that's all you get. no beans or rice but it's enough t fill you and you can bring your own beer as long as it's not Tecate(only brand they sell) their tilapia is very good too.

The Pantry on 9th and Figueroa for breakfast can't be beat. get the Ham steak and eggs with soardough bread and the slaw is the best I've had.

Just a couple for now since I am getting ready for work.

Best places to eat So. Cal.........

Let's start with Hamburgers, something I allow myself to have once a month.
Applepan on Pico in W.La. it's been in the same location for 60 years
Dinner/Drinks
Houstons in Century City everything they serve is excellent but so are the prices.
Charthouse Malibu.....this is a four star restrant with the "BEST" seafood/steaks/drinks plus the view will keep you coming back the rest of your life. If you intend to ask your girlfriend that all important question you
couldn't do any better than the Charthouse!
