And, for when the boss leaves town, someone mentioned in some thread I can't find, a place called something like Dinah's (nothing like a good memory, huh?) that sounded like a funky 50s sort of place. When I first read about it, I promised a trip there to friends coming in from the forests of Pennsylvania, and now I can't find it.
Many, many thanks for any help.
Dinah's is an old style restaurant on Sepulveda Blvd. , about 2 miles north of LAX (I believe on the corner of Sepulveda Blvd. & Centinella Blvd.). This restaurant is a westside tradition. Nothing fancy by any stretch of the imagination, but lots of old time waitresses who have been there since the dawn of time, small prices and HUGE portions (different days of the week have different all you can eat specials, and typical 50-60's diner decor (lots of vinyl and formica etc). Lots of the locals eat here, expecially for breakfast.
Mrs Onedog's relatives from Sweden were visiting us once and were driving around on their own just exploring and they "discovered" Dinah's....---> quote, "so much food for such a small prices. They kept on bringing food."
