Apple Pan

Where: 10801 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA
Price: $7

Down the historic street of Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles, Calif. is where one of the most old-fashioned burger houses in Southern California. The Apple Pan was established in 1947 and has served burgers, sandwiches, fries, and apple pie for all its customers since. The restaurant resembles a small house that could be found in the prairies of the Midwest in the middle of the 20th century, but is actually across the street from Westwood Pavillion.

Taste

Apple Pan is famous for its "Hickory Burger", so naturally I ordered to eat that. The wait time was only about eight minutes and the waiter just gave me the burger in front of me without any plate, but only a napkin. This was a bad move because I needed more than one napkin after eating this burger.

I know I'm suppose to critique fairly and quit giving all these places I have been more than a three burger rating, but I can't today. The hickory burger was amazingly delicious to say the least. It had everything I wanted in a burger, cheddar cheese and crispy ice burg lettuce with a unique taste. That unique taste was their hickory sauce. The sauce was savory with no bite, not a barbecue style sauce at all. The burger patty literally melted in your mouth, it was tender and juicy. I finished my burger quick and almost ordered another one. Go to the Apple Pan, you won't be disappointed.
