The Hat: Sanchez, QB of the NY Jets, eats at the Hat all the time. His parents live around the corner. I live 5 minutes away. BTW: The original restaurant is in Pasadena, and another one is in Glendora. I actually love the one in Glendora on Old Route 66.

My girlfriend just turned me onto The Hat 2 years ago and I'm kinda hooked when I get my car serviced at the Ford dealership a few yards away.

Another old-style pastrami sandwich/hot dog/burger joint is Johnny's Pastrami in Culver City at Sepulveda & Washington Blvd right off the 405 Fwy. That joints been around since 50+ yrs and still going strong. It's not your good Jewish deli type of pastrami sandwich, but more of a street corner(which it is) joint french dip sandy. Not to mention Tito's Tacos is also right next door(if you don't mind a 30+ deep line 24/7).

There's also another Johnny's Pastrami on Adams at Crenshaw & Adams Blvd just a few yards south of the 10 fwy. This one's been around since '56. Depending on how cosmopolitan you are, the area might be a little too dodgy for the more suburban eater.

We also need to start talking LA barbecue soon, I've got a few good places on my regular rotation list.
