"Burger Basket is a classic California burger joint that's been open since the 1960s and is currently owned and operated by husband-and-wife duo Phiyapan Pimolasavakun and Vorawat Narkmanee. It's a spot I've known since I was a kid and recently revisited following news of the owners' being burglarized of their life savings and calls for community support. The food at Burger Basket remains unfussy; as the name suggests, find a menu of burgers, steak sandwiches, hot dogs, and fried fish with sides of fries and onion rings."
"You can also order Thai tea - a nod to the current owners' Thai heritage - and specials that include pastrami. Small, independent restaurants in Los Angeles with hand-painted menus and window paintings are few and far between and it's vital to rally behind them in times of need. 501 W. Duarte Road Building 1/2, Monrovia, CA 91016."
"Marelle, an all-day restaurant tucked into the sleek Sandbourne hotel in Santa Monica like a creamy millennial-coded fever dream, serves an ocean-facing brunch that delivers on beachside presentation. Grab one of the patio banquettes facing the Pacific and let yourself enjoy the full spectrum of the menu: whipped feta dip with cured olives and blistered tomatoes shouldn't be missed (have it with crudit plucked from the Santa Monica farmers market that day), nor should reimagined classics such as fried chicken and pancakes with crispy Jidori chicken breast, fluffy buttermilk flapjacks, sweet roasted peppers, ample clarified butter, and maple syrup."
"A kids' menu brimming with lunch and breakfast favorites will satisfy the young ones while"
