OMG I cannot wait to find out where in the heck this is...In and Out? Apple Pan????!!!:o

The Apple Pan was one of the first "fast food" burger places. I remember it in the late 50s. (As in 1950s....). They serve the best hickory burgers out there. And, if you were a fan of 90210...The Peach Pit was the Apple Pan, and a hangout for all us Beverly kids. (Except the Apple Pan only has a counter). In and Out is a drive through or an eat on picnic benches very inexpensive burger place: Unlike the Apple Pan which serves hamburgers, tuna sandwiches and the best apple pie and banana cream pie and a few other things...In and Out has burgers, cheeseburgers, double doubles (2x everything) fries, soda. lemonade and milk shakes. My husband did an Apple Pan run yesterday. Both places are really high quality and cheap. (The In and Out cheeseburger is $1.39 I think...

I loved the Apple Pan! (Now I'm all homesick.)

ellebud, do you remember the name of those burger places that were around L.A. back in the 70s and 80s? They disappeared. There was one of them on La Cienega (or San Vicente) just North of Wilshire...right around Benehana. I'm drawing a complete blank on the name.

Fatburger?

And still going strong...Pinks! (Believe me when I say that we hardly ever eat fast/junk food...but if one is going to sin...these are the places to do it big time!)

ellebud 09-21-2008 12:26 AM

BTW: I don't know Hofs Hut...where was it? And what did they serve?

Isn't that a hot dog stand? I think I saw it profiled on Food network once and really wanted to go there one day.

If that's the case, then even I think I've figured out the school. I never can figure these out unless I attended or had a personal connection with a campus!

It's a restaurant that serves burgers, salads, sandwiches and stuff like that. It's o.k. but IMO, it's nothing special. They have lots of locations here in Southern California.

Fatburger??!! What a name for a heart clogging, fat producing place... must take SO good though! ;)

adpiucf 09-21-2008 02:02 PM

Ah Fatburger... your pores start clogging the minute you walk into one of those joints ...
