Retro Recruitment:: a brutally honest story

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.

I think it might be $1.39 if you don't get anything else but the cheeseburger. I do know that a Double Cheeseburger combo meal, made "animal style" is over $5. Mmm just typing that out makes my mouth water!!
