The Valley
It's not just for porn stars, you can get some great food also.
Valley Smash Burgers
The competition for smash burgers in Los Angeles has surged in recent years, and the San Fernando Valley already boasts one of the most popular options. However, forget about those other places—Valley Smash Burgers is preparing this classic treat the right way. Be sure to order the churros as well! 5206 Laurel Canyon blvd Volley Village, CA 91607 818-350-3834
Fab Hot Dogs
One of my first “food adventures” in Los Angeles was driving an hour to Reseda for Fab Hot Dogs and a wonder from New Jersey called a Ripper. I learned about Fab and the Rippwr from an LA Weekly article by the renowned Jonathan Gold. The Ripper is a dog plunged into boiling oil until it explodes. A must if you’re deep in the Valley. 19417 1/2 Victory Blvd Reseda, CA 91335 818-344-4336
OUVO
UOVO in Studio City is an Italian noodle oasis in the Valley. OUVO is a mini chain in LA with several locations including Marina Del Rey & Pasadena. The real story behind OUVO is they make pasta in Bologna, Italy and then flown here overnight, so yeah it’s legit. 12833 Ventura Blvd, Ste 157, Studio City, CA 91604 747-212-2690
Gorilla Pie
What’s Pittsburgh-style pizza? I still don’t know but in 2021 the Valley finally got quality pies and the best lemon pepper chicken wings this side of Atlanta. 12417 Burbank Blvd, Valley Village, CA 818-821-3777
Aj’s Tex-Mex & Barbecue
I discovered Al’s through a random episode of Bar Rescue and that might be the best thing that show has ever done. At Aj’s, they took the time to smoke some amazing meats and everything was so fresh. Pork ribs & brisket sandwiches are must-try. 12123 Riverside Drive Valley Village, CA 91607 818-505-8865
