"At the Griddle Cafe, a 20-year-old Sunset Boulevard spot between Hollywood and the true Sunset Strip, the food is very much the show: the restaurant is a 100-seat cornucopia of regulars, locals, and tourists who queue on the sidewalk for its giant breakfasts. Ham here comes in only one size—gigantic—and the Poached y Papas Benedict is the best way to enjoy it: two poached eggs in hollandaise sit atop an ice rink–sized slab of seared ham set on four quarters of fried potato skin, with the option to add half an avocado; the result is creamy, salty, and crunchy in all the right spots and stands up well to a hit of hot sauce or sharing at the counter for the ham steak ride of a lifetime." - Farley Elliott
