Last time I was able to get to the one in my hometown, they sold their hot sauce by the bottle. Not a gallon, but at least 2 pints or so.

Another great, yet seedy place is Byrons drive inn, in Honolulu

Yeah.. the burgers kinda get lost in the mix of great food, but they are delicious.

I admit I go for the local stuff, BBQ Fish, Pork and Chicken with rice, slaw and rolls

Did you try a chili burgers in LA? Half the time, I would not make it to the Apple Pan because the Tommy Burger on Lincoln would ensnare me. Tommy Burgers is a chain but it had some great chili burgers and chili fries. It is hard to find a good picture of one because they were such glorious messes. Here is how I remember them:

TommyCheeseBurger

Here are the chili fries:

TommyChiliFries

Note: Eat them quick before the red grease melts the wax paper, wax carton and card board tray.

Mark Lim at OhSoFat.com likes em big:

Triple Cheese with Chili Fires

As soon as you unwrap the Triple Cheese Burger from it's greasy translucent paper your entire body will be covered in their world famous Chili. It kind of just explodes on you like your heart does after you eat it. Mmm

Here is the original location in the Rampart District (You just know the Adam 12 squad ate here) :

Here in Tulsa, I can get my chili fix it Ike's Chili House. Hold the tomatoes and beans:

IkesChiliTulsa

Founded in 1908, it is the oldest chili house that I have found.

A regular patron of Ike's in Tulsa, Will Rogers really did call chili "a bowl of blessedness" and once turned down a banquet meal before a speaking engagement at the Mayo Hotel, saying "I can always eat chicken, but I can't always eat at Ike's."

For Chili burgers, we have Ron's. Just dig for a while and the burger will be rescued:

Dittos on that. It is amazing, on a burger thread, not one posted recipe to make a good burger. I do the same with Pizza, I make my own with a pizza stone and it is just as good as a pizzaria’s; no better because I can tweak it just the way I like it.

I love chili but it can often overpower the flavor of the beef.

I am such a goof. The Apple Pan founders ware the Gambles not the Apples. The apple pie with cheese must have had me in its spell.

Even better perhaps was the banana cream pie:

ApplePanBananaCraamPie

Eat one of those and you becime the alpha male silver back gorilla pounding your chest and clearing the jungle before you.

The LA Weekly agree: Best Banana Cream Pie: The Apple Pan

A tender crust, firm slices of fresh banana, sweet yellow custard, and a thin layer of soft cream. Their apple pies and hamburgers do appear to be more popular, but sometimes it really feels like they shouldn't be.

This country started going down hill when burgers and pies stopped going together.

Western Steakburger in San Diego Ca used to be great.

1/4 lb of steakburger and 1/4lb of gyro meat.

Gus and Maria were great.

He was Greek, she was Spanish

All the ones I tried. They go to flickr.com, but the account is passworded. You have to have a flickr account, and your account must be authorized to view the pix in question.

Flickr is a Yahoo property. Yahoo sucks. Best to host photos on a server that doesn't care who sees them (that's what the web is supposed to be — wide open!).
