Fat Sal's

When I come across a place that is unique in its style to making something simple, I'm all for it! A friend recommended Fat Sal's to me and I thought, why not! When I got to this small outdoor dive of a place I was very excited. This is the type of place you KNOW is going to be good. The menu took up a whole wall and let me tell you, what exotic combinations to put on a sandwich! After about ten minutes of deciding what I was going to order I decided on the Fat Joey. What's in the Fat Joey, I'm sure you are wondering...well it has, Pastrami, Turkey, Melted Swiss, Cole Slaw, Fries, Russian Dressing all on a Hero. The best, most flavorful, delicious sandwich I have had in a long time! The Russian dressing and Cole slaw were such a great flavorful addition to this sandwich. To top it off the sandwich was huge! I brought half home for lunch the next day and it still tasted great. I ordered the seasoned fries which came with Fat Sauch, which was SO delicious. My friend ordered the Fat Jerry which includes; Cheese steak, Chicken fingers, Motzerella sticks, Crisp bacon, Fried egg, Fries, Mayo, Ketchup, Salt & Pepper all on a hero. She was extreamly satisfied with her choice of sandwitch as well. She ordered the cheese fries which had crispy melted chedder cheesse ontop, also a good eat. These are just two of thier any choices on the menu. You can create your own combination sandwitch as well! A fun thing Fat Sals has is the Big Fat Fatty challenge. The sandwitch is$23.95 and if eaten whole, within 20 minutes, it's free! As well as you get to create your own Fat sandwitch to be added to the menu. Let me give you an idea about whats in the Big Fat Fatty; Cheese steak, cheeseburger, pastrami, chicken fingers, bacon, motzerella sticks, fried eggs, jalapeno poppers, fries, onion rings, chilli, marinara, fat sauce, all on an 18' garlic hero. Wow!

So if you are ever in the UCLA area and are hungry for a good sandwitch, Fat Sal's is the place! Come hungry and ready to try something crazy! Dont be a baby and get a turkey sandwich! You can go to Subway for that! Here at Fat Sal's its about the experience of trying something new and probably unhealthy, but hey! It's well worth it!

Kitchen 24

It's not very often you can find a 24 hour diner that actually serves good food. Most of them have limited menu choices late at night and well lets be honest, the foods not that great. When I came upon Kitchen 24 I was skeptical at first. I was thinking a Denny's style diner. Let me tell you, I was very wrong. Kitchen 24 is located in Hollywood and I almost drove right past it on my way there. It is a small cheque restaurant. The inside decor is very pink and cute. Mood lighting and full bar. The menu is large and the food was delicious!! There were so many options to choose from and everyone around us had great looking food in front of them. I was very pleased with my order. I got the create your own Macaroni, which was more like a gourmet pasta than macaroni. For a 24 hour diner I am very impressed and would recommend this place to everyone! I must also recommend their dessert! I ordered the cookie, which is much like the famous Pazookie... but better! Yes I said it, BETTER than the Pazookie!! So if you are ever up late, or heck just hungry...give this place a try!!
