Top 10 LA Eateries From 'Diners, Drive-Ins, And Dives'
From a roving food truck serving Chinese and Mexican fusion to a tiny traditional Polish restaurant, we tracked down all the LA restaurants that Guy Fieri has visited during his Triple D adventures. We've highlighted the most essential spots to visit in LA, covering cuisine born of LA's talent for cultural fusion, as well as traditional restaurants that have just never stopped doing things right.
Whether you first learned about these one-of-a-kind places from Guy, or you're a local who's been coming back for years, these humble restaurants deserve a lot of love and affection. Even if you're not an avid watcher of "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," you have to appreciate Fieri's ability to find these great spots. The man has eyes in the back of his head, after all. Oh wait, those are his sunglasses.
The great thing about these locally beloved "dives" is that you can taste some of the best food in LA for just a few bucks. Prices range from the $2.50 maple bacon donut at Nickel Diner, as long as you get there before it's sold out, to the $18 pierogi dinner platter at Polka if you want to sample them all; and you do.
