8 Of Our Favorite LA-Area Restaurants | Legendary Eats Marathon | Insider Food
Shout out to all these owners and their family’s for working hard for their dream.
Families ffs.
Shout out to LA for destroying so many of these businesses.
You can tell how much it means to the families. It's a testament to the quality of people running these places that they're around decades later!
I really hope that these restaurants can last through the lockdown so we have places to go binge eat at once this is over
The prime rib joint, chocolate place, and the ice cream joint might have trouble.
Black Jesus If 8 months is “anytime soon”
@Black Jesus We would all like to believe that, but in reality 'any time soon' is 6 months tops.
Stay safe!
Don’t worry, I’ve ordered from Philippe several times since the pandemic. 😊
@@lmaobox4068 black jesus ? You mean michael jordan?
As a near-native Angeleno who's traveled across the country and now living in the East Coast, I can assure you L.A. has the best food in all of America. The diversity and flavorful-ness are unmatched.
hahahah so true
yeah the food that they get from other countries cuisines 😂
Native Angeleno here, ummm, no. No pizza or Chinese food compares to NYC.
@@dobees8183 flushings is pretty fire... but ya gotta give the SF Bay Area a shoutout for their chinese food
who else’s only came cause of the donuts on the cover i know i did lol
ME! 🙋🏿♀️
I have a sweet tooth, like a mother n that's exactly why I'm here.
✋✋✋✋✋
i live less than 2 miles from that place
Those are one those desserts that look better than they taste.
If you are reading this, Know you are loved by many and bless you!🥰
You are loved too... Thanks for the comment. ! 🤗
Lovely comment,thank you and you also.
Arrchoooo
thanks
Phillipe was extremely popular during the pandemic. Huge takeout orders kept them humming along. One of the companies in the area ordered 70+ sandwiches every day. The downtown LA businesses helped each other. Pleasantly surprised by the sense of community in the City of Glitz.
Lies again? UFC WWE88
I have been there lots. Took my kid there lots.
The best , authentic Mexican in my town is also in a gas station/convienence store..theres a line every day..Lupitas.. State College PA.
The strawberry donut reminds me of a hand held version of Marie Calendar’s strawberry pie back in college. YUM 😋
I hope all of these mom and pop places are still around after this corona-cluster is over.
The Donut Man is my ish!!!! Those strawberry donuts really live up to their hype and I'm not even a stuffed donut person lol. I love them❤️
Tigertails are life!
TigerTail donuts!
watching this today and i realized i can finally go get a strawberry one
@@reheatedpizza7292 lucky
the donut man is legit, on any given day at virtually any time whenever i'm driving down 66 and i pass by it there's ALWAYS a line, even when i'm getting dinner from peppertree across the street i look out across the street and see tons of people lined up for donuts at 6pm
I moved to LA and lived there for thirty years before heading back East again. One of the things I miss the most besides all the stuff to do is the food. I learned about all kinds of cuisines by living there.
Thanks for repatriating. More now need to follow. Too bad our Anti•Okie laws were deemed unconstitutional. We need millions truly to repatriate from wherever they came from. Folks have been overstaying their welcome since 1980. Sincerely glad you left
As an LA guy, I can attest that these are some of the legit cheap eats in town. More can be added, but great place to start with these 8.
I have a bunch of top 10 lists of LA restaurants if anyone needs additional rec. 😀
Rockstar Eater I headed over to your channel, liked what I saw, and subscribed!
Vee Cee same here! nice videos, you’re going to be huge
I do! I plan on going to these places when I visit LA
@@geegeel7907 😀
Yessss pls!
Shout out to Mashti Malones Ice Cream, they're the real deal I used to live down the street from them. Also right above Mashti's is one of the best barbers in LA, Handsome Devils my boy Matt hooks it up!! In the same plaza they also got an excellent taco stand called King of the Grill used to head there once a week at least.
Always wanted to try that taco spot. Good to know!
Omg i want that strawberry donut 😞
i used to live 2 blocks away from there. from 1972 to The mid 90's. as a kid my mom would send me to get her a strawberry doughnut when they sold them. my childhood home is no longer there and i relocated to Denver, Co. so i'm with you on wanting one..lol
This strawberry is one of the highest pesticide list.
Wow I love that these were all mom and pop classic shops rather than fancy boujee new wave restaurants. Loved it! Definitely want to make a trip out to try these thanks!
The bad thing about this video is everything looks good.
Then you obviously come from the boonies.
Please stay away from Manhattan
That meat at Lawry’s is so rare it’s still moo-ing!
Yes
😂😳🤪
😱😱😱😱😱I hollered, WHOA SHE BIT THE🐂🐄🐃🥩
It’s prime rib it’s supposed to look like that
Wrd that shit looks bad
The doughnut shop story is so lovely. The American dream. Community. Making wonderful, delightful, over the top things and prospering off the land's bounty. This is the America I've missed hearing about!
Donut man is so classic :)
I love you
33:00 "Oh, I'll get one, maybe two, see what else is on the menu..."
*Returns with 6 boxes of donuts 🍩🍩
Ngl, that would be me
I never imagined a strawberry donut would make me weep for joy. They're gorgeous!
My late father worked in L..A.. when I was growing up. One day, when I was about 13 he told me, “Come on. Let’s get something to eat.”
He took me and my older brother to Phillipe’s and Canter’s for our two main meals. We lived in Glendora so we ended the day at Donut Man. #memories
Solid day right there
My grandpa grew up in Culver city and always went to Titos. My grandparents first date was there. Went there in March and was great.
Watching this during Ramadan🥺
Everything was so satisfying to watch. It all looked delicious!
I am thinking of all these hard working people running these small businesses praying they are surviving this horrible time. Small businesses are the backbone of our country. Please come back. We will all be there for you when you do.
Philippe’s has the best french dip sandwich I’ve ever tasted
That little girl and her dad were just too cute🥺
Phillipes...lamb double dipped add jack cheese mac salad original lays one pickle and a lemonade before a Dodger game of course! 😍😍😍
Everything is great but the STRAWBERRY DONUTS ARE DIVINE PERFECTION.
Been to Philippe’s, been to the donut shop (they also make peach), I got those donuts for a bake sale!!! Been to Langer’s, the #19 is that pastrami sandwich!! Tito’s Tacos was my lunch spot!! I worked in the area..
My earliest memory of going to Lawry’s is when I was about 3yrs old!! Best garlic mashed potatoes!!
The strawberry donut from the show YOU 🤤
me watching this while making a box of kraft dinner
Dad took me to phillipes my first time in 1980. I would always get a baked apple with my dip.
I've been there several times with foodie friends. They have a variety that's very impressive. We've stood in line for as long as an hour. People line up as late as midnight for these treats. I like the people who do that too. There is something about folks and how much they enjoy food without sweating the calorie load.
I feel like home cook meals probably the best
In the 50s and 60s it was sit down service with professional waiters in uniformed black pants and white shirts. Most were elder gentlemen adding to the old school ambiance. I went often. I forgot about the Langers Deli. I lived close to Canters on Fairfax but recall grabbing pastrami sandwiches to take home after working for Transamerica Corporation, one of the first conglomerates that included Occidental Insurance on Hill Street.
The donut man, blessings to that Man and his family.. strawberry donuts hittin
Wow! This looks so amazingly delicious! Thank you for sharing this. 🙌🙌🙌
28:46 The Donut Man the delicious looking strawberry donuts in thumbnail 🤤🤤
“I wasnt expecting that burst of butter cream but im happy it happened” @22:30
@15:47 xD
My parents took me to Philippe's when I was a kid in the fifties. I was there a few weeks ago, when I visited LA for Christmas. They haven't changed. They're great. BTW they're only a block from Olvera Street and Union Station. Go have fun.
Love your show. Love the struggle to success stories. Love that a humble gas station can have some of the best food in the city. Love the hard work and love put into the hard work. The food experience is just wow, the preparation, presentation, partaking and breaking bread. It's a good thing too I'm all the way out here in East Africa....only way to stay slim away from that yummy yum stuff! Covid19 may mean a lot of take away for the time being.
Went to 3 of these in LA last time I was there. Amazing food
Shout out to Edelweiss! My gf at the time, now wife, is from Germany. Born and raised there and the Edelweiss flower has meaning to her as I'm sure it does for a lot of Germans, so giving her chocolates from a specialty chocolate shop named after a symbolic flower really got me in her good graces lol. She married me, so it worked! 😂
The Donut Man has the best donuts I’ve ever had!
This was the best 34:43 minutes I have spent watching people eat.
the sheer amount of food in those servings blows my mind.
how, the hell, does anyone get thru all that.
watch me
Really carefully!
@array s I think you mean freedom and weight sensitive food eating
Communist detected on American soil
One bite at a time.
Doggy bags. A friend told me her sister moved to Houston from Aberdeen Scotland due to oil related work, within weeks her sis put on 42lbs, she learnt that people in Houston eat half out then take the rest home. But in the UK places don’t do that due to H&M’s and you need to sign a disclaimers for taking sit in food out. Also. My friend her sister who is in her 50s grew up with that clean your plate mentality that a lot of postwar generations grew up with.
Langer's pastrami sandwich is looking delish 🤤🤤🤤
Been going to Phillips, Langer's, and Lawry's since I was a young. I am now 80 years old and I still think they are the best. The food is one of the best thing of being a Native Angeleno.
Amen! We are so lucky. A native Angeleno here too. Love Langer's and Phillips. Only been to Lawry's once. Though I did go to the Lawry's California Center in Cypress Park many times. Beautiful Mission hacienda style complex with gardens and outdoor dining. Unfortunately, it closed years ago
Remember my mom taking me to Philippe's 50 years ago! had a lamb dip last weekend Still great!
🤤 This is making me want to catch a flight from the UK
He totally dinged the door when he got out of his car lol
Absolutely! 😂
60 years running Langer’s …. Amazing. Lucy BTW got her idea from her experience at SEE’s Candy , another California Treasure
Happened to find this video randomly. It’s so nice to see Titos on here! I’ve been going since i was little 😋
If you're ever in Los Angeles again, you HAVE to stop at Edoughble Sweet Shop on South Robertson Boulevard! The edible cookie dough there is absolutely incredible, and the employees are super kind. Six out of five stars!
The Donut Man is amazing! I love the strawberry donut! 🤤🍓🍩
wow, that pastrami poutine looked amazing! yum!
Philippe's before a Dodger game, that's a family tradition. Beef and pork for me, double-dipped. Those nice crusty rolls stand up great to all the dunking, and the jus is sooooooo tasty. Do watch out for the mustard, though -- that stuff will singe your nose hairs off, so taste a little dab before you get liberal with it. You gotta know what you're getting into.
I've never been to the frankie place, though -- that sounds completely like my kinda jam. Gonna try that for sure!!
When quarantine is over I’m going to every one of these places! 😩
ME TOO!!! I want to get my siblings to do one place a month; should be a fun rest-of-year!!
When it's over? Will we live long enough?
Did u go
Where did u earn money for that
Did u go
i haven't had breakfast and lunch, and it's almost dinner time and I don't even know if somethings gonna go in my stomach today lmao
and here I am watching foods
Villager That's cause I stole your bread
so I've been to Donut Man and its INCREDIBLE. If you are ever in the area, you've gotta go!
The Donut Man, originally called Foster's Donuts, opened when I was in jr. high (now called 'middle school') back in '72. It was an instant hit, and kids all clamored for their daily donuts. I always wondered why they changed the name, but then realized another iconic Glendora establishment, Foster's Freeze, may have been a factor. You couldn't just say, "Meet me at Foster's" because then you had to figure out which Foster's to go to. And yes, Donut Man's donuts are absolutely fantastic. They took 2nd place in a national donut contest some years back.
I've been going to Phillipe's since I was a kid and I'm 30 now. It's never not been awesome, try their chili! I also lived down the street from the donut man.
Portion too small at Philippe . They need a footlong
Why am I watching this! Today is the 100th Monday that I decided to start a diet
Great Video. I'm glad I live a couple of miles from the Donut Man!🍓🍩🍓
THAT ICE CREAM LOOKS INSANELY DELICIOUS
Just moved to SF this year after being born and raised in LA all my life & it really says something about these places that I can recognize them all of them just from the pictures in the intro...😋 Man I miss all these places so much.
This video is getting saved. I’m going to be exploring this city more than ever after the world opens again and I’ve been shaken out of my usual boring routine
oh wow! i so agree with every place you guys just gave a review yummm!!!
Was I the only one when Tito’s tacos came up, and later started to sing their commercial? Only me, okay.... SoCal people know about the commercial
why are you torturing us during lockdown?:'(
Ikr (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩)
Ikr
You do have the option to not watch it.
If they don’t post anything i think i’ll be more miserable
Emily King Very, Very good point
This video should be called "Remember when we had good hosts ?"
As a native Angeleno living in Seattle, I miss these places. There is a site called Goldbelly’s that offers Langer’s pastrami. I’m very happy ordering it when the homesickness gets bad!!
Agreed on all these spots as a local LA guy. Bravo and well done.
Tbh I wanna try every single place in this video ! I’m not a picky eater and love exploring new foods! ♥️
You go girl 👏
I definitely wanna go to the donut and the chocolate shops ❤
Somosree Roy hey sweety! ua-cam.com/video/ella3GDaias/v-deo.html
This was awesome! Born and raised in LA, I’ve only been to 2 of the 8 restaurant you featured! I’m honestly shocked and will have some driving (and eating )to do...regardless of these crazy Covid times.
Langers hands down is the Best Pastrami anywhere ❤❤❤❤
Mashti is an Iranian/Persian name, but where did they get Malone's?! Lavender flavored ice cream sounds absolutely divine! 🍦 💜😋 Praying these special eateries will survive the Covid lock-downs. 🙏🏻🥄 😒
If you're from LA please support these businesses and other small or family owned businesses. Also support local businesses in your communities.
That chocolate and ice cream shops look amazing.
The only thing that makes Philippe’s better is adding cheese and always get it double dipped! Macaroni salad over potato everyday and be careful that mustard is damn hot. Sooooo goodddd!
I knew Tito's would be in this i love thier taco and salsa
Thank you the lockdown for keeping me thin 😋
Im gaining
0:43 Never let Joe Avella park next to you when a cafe orchestra is playing "We Three Kings" in the background.
Thanks for the list! Heading up there in February (when strawberry season starts).
3:13 idk why but that just warmed my heart. That’s so cute 😖
I love the French dip !
28:40 Donut Man is something that Glendora is proud of, there are lines going back to the parking area wrapped around the back of the building even at 2 in the morning, some times they have all three windows operating with two lines to try to cut the wait time down to some 10 minutes. Donut Man is THE place to go in Glendora, day night, everyone is friendly and love to talk about doughnuts and how many they wish they could get -- two of everything. The Tiger Tails are also one of Donut Man's other distinguishing features but because they bake 24 hours and sell 24 hours, it's rare for doughnuts to get old on the shelf, things usually sell out quickly -- to the point where Bear Claws and Cinnamon Rolls sell out as quickly as they come off of the racks so only people lucky enough to be there when they hit the racks are able to get them. And yes, I have talked with hundreds of people while waiting in line, people as far away a San Diego and from Baker will divert 20 miles to swing by Donut Man on their way somewhere, and of course the locals love the place.
I got a negative bank account right now and haven’t eaten in two days. Watching videos like this makes me sooooo hungry
Lockdown has Food Insider editing their old videos into new ones lol.
It's rare that the Donut Man has both the peach and strawberry donuts!
Langer's is the BEST pastrami sandwich I've EVER had.
The Prime Rib was the star of the show for me ` Perfectly rare to medium rare with extra hot Horseradish, Keen's extra hot mustard and jus. Yum Yum!
Oh mercy, that raw prime rib ( shudder). To each his own but ...no way!
I'm gonna be fat.
I would never be able to afford that, prime rib is fecking expensive, that piece would probably cost like 35-40 bucks
Also prime rib is meant to be eaten when it's medium-rare
I like how they make sure each plate/dish is stuffed. If I get something like that in my country, the price would not be reasonable to the quantity given.
The Lawery kills me! Their sandwiches geez look bombs.. I want to try it someday whenever I get there..
as a patron of Katz Deli in NYC, I really wanna go to Langer''s. LOVE pastrami! Hope theses places are still open after this pandemic.
