If, and when, you're in Los Angeles,

should not be missed. Here are some reasons why:

-

Old-school soda fountain

-

Incredibly nice staff (Marty himself invited us in!)

-

Great selection of condiments (including spicy and sweet mustards, homemade dill relish and onion compote)

-

8-inch beef kosher dogs served in a warm, poppy-seed buns

-

Candy apple-colored bar

-

Premium ice cream and homemade hot fudge (ignore the part on the menu that says to order it if you're not too hungry though...it's big).

-

Perfectly crisp regular and sweet potato fries We left the diner excruciatingly full, but we're already planning a trip back sometime very soon.
