Apple Pan

ap1.jpg

I’m a huge proponent of kicking off the weekend on a positive note and The Apple Pan, which opened in 1947, always does the trick.  Located in a cozy, cottage-like shack, they serve up some of the best burgers and fries in the city.  They’re famous for their dessert too, and though I was opposed to the idea of trying my first banana cream pie, there’s a reason there are no pictures.

I’ve only eaten there once, but it was pretty yummy. We did have to wait a little while to get seats since there were 3 of us, but this reminds me I need to go back soon!

Hi Emily, my name is Gema
I love your blog, you are very interesting
I discovered it does very little and since then I follow you.
I took a while thinking about creating my own blog inspired others already knew (and yours to become part of) a mixture between fashion, life (mine) and food :)
but can not get past the first step: THE TITLE haha :)
I love yours, is as simple and concrete as well as generic
help me choose? I’m a bit blocked ..
I love the French words such as ‘atelier’ or other words like cashmere but I can not link anything with logic

Have an idea for me?
it all sounds strange, but my boyfriend only came up with silly names and equally or more excited about the blog that me ..
forgive my English, I’m from Barcelona
XOXO Gema

that old sign with you underneath? yeah… brilliant.

10 gigi aka the kid { 09.04.09 at 5:55 am }

oh make me jealous. my high school was right down the street. i have so many pivotal moments of my formative years documented in photos underneath that sign. cheers for the good choice.

11 andrea { 09.04.09 at 5:57 am }

I love down-homey food like this. Sometimes it’s like a big hug for your tummy and soul. Looks fab.

12 klee { 09.04.09 at 6:06 am }

13 Sal { 09.04.09 at 6:07 am }

Dang, that burger looks incredible.

14 Maddy { 09.04.09 at 6:19 am }

Hmm….that burger looks like a heart attack waiting to happen! But yummy nonetheless :)

15 Linda { 09.04.09 at 6:22 am }

Delicious! The food looks good too.

16 Pretty Little World { 09.04.09 at 6:29 am }

I absolutely adore your blog. I read it religiously:) Unfortunately, I’m from New York and am unable to try these delicious places you write about.
Keep up the good work! Every post is interesting

20 Tiers of Joy { 09.04.09 at 7:04 am }

Love everything about this post. That burger looks positively sinful!

21 carissa { 09.04.09 at 7:14 am }

24 breezy { 09.04.09 at 7:29 am }

that burger looks divine! like the original in and out…

p.s. where did you get those amazing gold sandals? i live in flats, and those are awesome.

25 Karen { 09.04.09 at 7:36 am }

Good God. I spontaneously salivated as soon as I saw that burger shot.

You are so evil ; ))

ps. There’s a diner in NY that has some of THE best burgers and apple pie that would bring you to your knees. It’s in a 1950′s style caravan complete with juke box (a la Ghost movie).

See you soon and feel better!

26 Ela { 09.04.09 at 7:51 am }

You always have the loveliest photos. How much do I want to dig into that??? Yum.

27 Elizabeth { 09.04.09 at 7:51 am }

I am from California, transplanted to Paris, and now all I want is that cheeseburger. Isn’t Paris supposed to sweep my senses away with a replacement? Too bad I cannot do a temporary switch-eroo…

28 Jaime { 09.04.09 at 8:04 am }

Yum! You look great- enjoy your LONNNG weekend! :)

29 Wanderlusting { 09.04.09 at 8:32 am }

I am always amazed at the number of cool restuarants in LA…where did you live before you moved out there?

30 rachel { 09.04.09 at 8:34 am }

yummm that looks delicious! the color of your dress is lovely too.

31 Katie { 09.04.09 at 8:35 am }

Oh, how I miss the Apple Pan!

32 Amanda Nicole { 09.04.09 at 8:44 am }

It looks fantastic! I love local eateries that have been around a long time. Happy weekend :)

33 sarah von { 09.04.09 at 8:52 am }

Those red vinyl chairs are fantastic!

34 KPeach { 09.04.09 at 8:56 am }

um, now I’m hungry and need red vinyl chairs in my kitchen!

35 southern hostess { 09.04.09 at 8:57 am }

What a cool place! I even love how they serve Diet Coke.

36 Cafe Fashionista { 09.04.09 at 9:03 am }

I’m not sure which I love more, the color of your dress or the coziness of the restuarant. I’d say it’s a draw – this is the cutest place ever! :)

37 Wanderlusting { 09.04.09 at 9:05 am }

Hee hee to be honest I LOVE San Francisco but I only kinda like LA. I’ve only been to LA on business though (film related) and the whole industry kinda soured my view…it’s time for another look I think! You definitely show the beauty of the city.

38 Taylor { 09.04.09 at 9:16 am }

The place looks yummy, but I am more interested in that dress. What is that? The color is rad..so pretty.

39 Taylor { 09.04.09 at 9:31 am }

Thanks for letting me know Emily. I adore that color. It is great with a tan (too bad mine is already fading). I thought it would be fun to see reader’s closets. Everyone seems to be afraid (I guess I am not the only one with a disaster for a colset). If you have time maybe send in a pic of yours..so we can see how you organize it. I am trying to put to gether a prize for the winner too.
Thanks girl.

40 Taylor { 09.04.09 at 9:34 am }

sorry “closet” and “together” darn fingers.

41 whitney { 09.04.09 at 9:39 am }

please share where you got that dress!!

42 Kristin { 09.04.09 at 9:52 am }

You always seem to find the cutest little places. You are a fantastic tour guide.

43 monica from hola!design { 09.04.09 at 10:03 am }

everything looks yummy!

44 Rachel (Heart of Light) { 09.04.09 at 10:09 am }

I think I could eat burgers every single night. Especially here in LA, where we have so many good ones to choose from.

45 Jenn K. { 09.04.09 at 10:14 am }

I love The Apple Pan… its also not a bad ending to shopping at the mall across the street!

46 All Women Stalker { 09.04.09 at 10:21 am }

Agree, your dress looks great. Any outfit detail? :)

-meream

47 erin { 09.04.09 at 10:23 am }

love the red vinyl of the chairs – looks like a fun place!
and that burger! yummy!
i love that you’re not afraid to eat and flaunt it. too many people think that they have to eat the bare minimum to lose weight and look good. you’re setting a great example.

48 Sweetshelle { 09.04.09 at 10:29 am }

Yummy! Your blog is very enjoyable!

Love your red dress and the red cushioned seats :)

50 Maria { 09.04.09 at 10:49 am }

Looks good! x

51 Suzy { 09.04.09 at 11:00 am }

I can’t believe you blogged about the Apple Pan! this was one of my favorite places to go when i lived in LaLaLand, THANK YOU for taking me on a trip down memory lane =)

52 Lexie { 09.04.09 at 11:18 am }

whatever you’re eating there sure makes me hungry! :D

53 Lacey { 09.04.09 at 12:21 pm }

Quaint little places like that always have the best burgers. And I would love a piece of banana cream pie right about now!

54 C { 09.04.09 at 12:23 pm }

Like the colours in the first pictures, almost all white and then the red dress. Fab!

55 Kristin { 09.04.09 at 1:00 pm }

That color looks killer against your tan. I miss being tan. Sigh. Not a banana cream pie fan. I think I could slaughter a whole pie on my own!

56 Judy { 09.04.09 at 1:30 pm }

the burger looks great…I know what I’m having for dinner!

57 MyHormonesMadeMeDoIt { 09.04.09 at 1:32 pm }

Total nostalgia…I want to go

58 Melissa { 09.04.09 at 2:01 pm }

Your dress is gorgeous and that color looks great on you! Where is it from??

59 The Lil Bee { 09.04.09 at 2:07 pm }

You find the BEST places to eat, I swear! That last shot has my mouth watering.

60 Lainey { 09.04.09 at 3:01 pm }

Wow, that place looks delicious! I love the picture of the burger. I’m going to definitely check this out! Thanks for the tip.

61 Frank&Rémy { 09.04.09 at 5:39 pm }

WOW! very cool pictures and that looks delicious!

62 S.Elisabeth { 09.04.09 at 7:46 pm }

64 Couture Cookie { 09.05.09 at 9:10 am }

Sounds really yummy…. I’m almost getting cravings and it’s only noon! What the…

65 Jennifer Paul { 09.05.09 at 4:36 pm }

Hi Emily,
First of all, I would like to say that I love your blog!!! I’m so inspired by your posts about fashion and have been printing recipes that you shared, so I can try them when I can. I have a quick question…on the post ” Liquid Diet”, on August 31st, there is a picture of a cup of black tea. I love the white cup set that you used. I would really like to know the brand of that cup set. I have been looking for a white set of dishes and love the one in the picture. Please let me know. Ciao from Germany…moving soon back to US

66 Her name was Lola { 09.06.09 at 9:25 am }

I am majorly coveting just about everything in this post {most especially that gorgeous cheeseburger!} looks like heaven.

Hope you’re enjoying the holiday weekend, lovely!

Cheers.

67 Andhari { 09.06.09 at 10:08 am }

Ohhh you look great, the whole pictures looklike a screen shot of a movie.

68 Nicole Marie { 09.06.09 at 11:54 am }

yum yum. reminds me of a little place on the embarcadero i think its called red java house. except there’s no coffee. just amazing burgers!!

69 Sophie { 09.07.09 at 7:46 am }

completely and utterly agree with the foremost comment about your strive to photograph the most absolutely mindblowing food porn! food should be celebrated in all its glorious forms, aswell as the divine fashion. eugh, USA is so for me. However i’m stuck in a little countryside english town. i want/require a burger/tan.

74 Alya { 09.07.09 at 6:32 pm }

75 PS~Erin { 09.08.09 at 4:39 am }

That’s my kind of kick off! LOVE me some cheeseburgers! Your outfit is just my style too… The photo is great!
