Burger description. http://www.in-n-out.com/

My first ever visit to the USA was to LA back in 1986. It scared the living daylights out of me, this sprawling monster with urban tentacles. But after a few more trips, it started growing on me and I started relishing swapping lanes on the 405 and headed south down to Long Beach. It's a nice part of the world, I need a little more nature, culture and the knowledge that my property isn't going to be halved when the earth shakes though.

2 more reasons: Surf in the morning, snow-ski in the afternoon. Sweet! And West Hollywood.

Re: los angeles is the best city in the world

In Peru we have Bembo's, they are better

And they only cost 4 dollars (12 soles)



The thing in the middle is Peruvian Sausage from Huacho mmmmmmmmmmmmmm fatty!

Re: los angeles is the best city in the world

What is that? I'm sorry but it doesn't look so great to me.

I much prefer Checkers (Rally's, depending on the area of the country) as they have seasoned fries! Down with plain potatoes, Down I say!


Meanwhile, this new beauty from Sonic is something I imagine plenty of folks in Daytona Beach enjoying right now. (2 beef patties, 2 slices of American cheese AND jalapeņo poppers... oh my!)




(I've never considered myself really a habitual eater of fast-food but even the occasional treat adds up when one is relatively sedentary... I did lose 16k just by my semi-Swiss lifestyle change for a reason)

So it's a smelly, low-cuisine version of the Cote d'Azur,
with scrambled sitting there in swimming trunks...

Sounds irresistible. NOT!

Re: Los Angeles is the best city in the world

If you like to be stuck on the freeway for hours on the way to work and home then maybe it's a great city. I prefer Sacramento with less people and crime and many more trees.
