"As American as Apple Pan!"

Jan 02, 2009 17:14



The Apple Pan is a west-side institution in LA that specializes in "doing simple things exceedingly well," similar to the the californian idea that founded Mc.Donalds eventually. The Apple Pan stood alone as the wheel turned around, refusing to be franchised, serving only two burgers - Hickory burger, their best, and Steak burger - around the now legendary U-shaped counter, where you always have to stand in line to get a seat, unless you arrive there single, like I do, in which case your chances of getting a seat are high, as nobody likes to sit sandwiched in between two couples crooning over the each other, with stuffed burgers in their mouths (just imagine!). (I don't care though).

Apple Pan serves apple pies as well (duh!)

You need to have the sweet pie (a sugar bomb) with coffee (no cream and sugar, preferably) to neutralize the excessive sweetness of the pie.

You also need to be a David Lynch, churning out Twin Peaks scripts while having your pie and coffee. Or at least act like one.
