"The Oinkster is LA fast-food royalty and a place you probably recognize from countless cable food shows. While the unabashed Americana-in-an-A-frame thing is what lures most people in, it’s the food that’ll make you a regular. We usually get a burger or the applewood smoked pastrami sandwich, a side of perfectly crunchy onion rings, plus an ube milkshake. It’s made with nearby Fosselman’s ice cream and is a nod to chef Andre Guerrero’s Filipino heritage, as well as the larger Filipino community in Eagle Rock itself." - brant cox, nikko duren
