The Apple Pan, Los Angeles, CA (May 2007)


Looking back, this is the first burger place that I can find of which I took a picture - The Apple Pan in Los Angeles.  Madison and I went to LA for her 16th birthday get-away.  Before we left, I googled "best burger los angeles" and this was one of the places that popped up.   Very limited menu and not much more seating (26 stools around a U-shaped counter). 

In business since 1947, little has changed.   The burgers are still served wrapped in wax paper and the counterman pours ketchup onto a paper plate.   Sadly, I didn't think, back  then, to get a picture of the burger.  But the apple pies are still baked fresh daily.   

Last week (August 31) I went back by the Apple Pan, just for the pie, after eating a burger at Marty's.   The amazing thing is the volume of pies that they prepare:
In the back right corner of the restaurant (off the right tip of the U-shaped counter) is the pie preparation area.  This is through a glass window.  Check out the pies.  
I also got a shot of the inside from the right front corner, this time.
