The Apple Pan

The First Timer’s Guide To Eating In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The Apple Pan might be LA’s most iconic burger joint, second only to In-N-Out. This diner in Cheviot Hills hasn’t changed much since it opened in 1947, with classic red leather chairs, cooks wearing soda jerk hats, and plaid wallpaper that was on trend the year Singin’ In The Rain premiered. The menu is virtually the same, too: tuna melts, their famous banana cream pie, and the delicious–and often divisive–hickory burger. This Apple Pan original has a distinctive sweet-tangy glaze that’s somewhere between ketchup and barbecue sauce. You won’t find anything like it elsewhere in town, and, most importantly, you’re eating inside a true historic landmark that feels timeless.  " - Brant Cox, Arden Shore, Nikko Duren, Garrett Snyder, Sylvio Martins
