Los Angeles? A trip over to the Pantry Cafe at the corner of 9th and Figueroa will yield up the BEST breakfast you ever had.
I am in the San Fernando Valley -- but for a while a few years ago, I was doing work at 7th and Fig and we used to go to the Pantry on occassion.
Pretty good and HUGH portions. Old Mayor Riordan knows how to run a resaurant.
