Fab Dogs

Fab Dogs is a little hole in the wall hot dog place that has the most extensive hot dog menu I've ever seen. The hot dogs are inexpensive, and worth the price. I discovered this place when watching the Food Network, it was featured on the show Diners, Drove-ins and Dives. It's off of Tampa right after Vanowen. Since it's such a tiny place, the crowd gets huge fast! You can walk in and have it be completely empty, and within minutes it will become packed. The service there is pretty decent and the people working there are very friendly. All in all, this place is definitely worth a trip to! The hot dogs were very tasty and you have options in how you want them coked. The tator tots are selicious and a must try with your order! I also suggest getting two hot dogs. because sometimes one is just not enough!

Guido's Pizza and Pasta

Nothing like an Italian dining experience while being no where near Italy. At Guido's you can taste the deliciousness of Italy in every bite. If you are hungry for some real Italian food, skip the line at Olive Garden and come hungry here. I ordered the pepperoni pizza which tasted amazing. The cheese had a fresh flavor and the sauce was great. The dough was fluffy and had a home baked taste. You can't experience this flavor anywhere else. My friend ordered a sandwich which she agreed had a flavorful home made taste to it. A must try if you are ever in the area! On the corner of Sherman way and Winnetka you will find this quaint little place. A home like feel inside, with very friendly staff, you can dine in or take out. Prices are great and the selection is huge. Everything made to order! There are lunch specials during the week at great prices and catering is available. Their pizza is a must try and the sandwiches are delicious!

Millions of Milkshakes

One of my favorite places I have been to so far would be Millions of Milkshakes. What a simple concept, a milkshake, any way you could ever imagine it made. Why has this not been done before?! Centered in West Hollywood this place is a hot spot for celebrity sightings. The menu includes picks from your favorite celebrity's, such as the Miley Cyrus, which includes Vanilla ice cream, cookie dough, and Reese's peanut butter cups topped with whipped cream. There are millions of options to choose from! Millions of Milkshakes offers vegan shakes as well as soy options instead of dairy. And if there is none on the menu that satisfy your needs than you can create your own!!

The atmosphere is very hip. With three flat screen t.v.'s showing highlights from TMZ, Twitter, and a video showing all the celebrity's that have visited Millions of Milkshakes. This place is known for its famous visitors and makes you feel like you are a star. With constant Twitter updates you can track which celeb just might be on their way to Millions of Milkshakes. If you are ever in the area or want to make the trip I highly suggest visiting this place.

Brents Deli

Who does not love some good old fashion comfort food? There is nothing like going to a deli when you are hungry for something you know has been passed down by someones great grandma. Brent's Deli has two great locations, there is one in Northridge and Westlake Village. Both locations have plenty of seating and can accommodate large groups. This in one of my favorite places to indulge in with my family. The atmosphere feels like I'm home enjoying my food with loved ones. The selection on the menu is huge! There are many things to choose from for any craving to satisfy. The portions at Brent's are huge and the food is delicious.

If you are experiencing Brent's Deli for the first time, may I suggest trying any of the typical "Jewish foods." This is what most delis are famous for. The Matzo ball soup is outstanding as well as their sandwich selections. The fish plates, such as the lox and bagels, white fish salad sandwich and white fish platter (pictured above) are all delicious tastes of the deli culture. When I'm at Brent's I know I'm eating a meal that is freshlyy prepared and never frozen. The desserts are amazing and I'm always leaving with leftovers!
