You guys are making me hungry for a steak, I think I'll head down to Taylor's on 8th & Ardmore right now. It's the oldest steak-house in L.A., and really good with absolutely unmatched ambience. Dark, would be smoky if not for the smoking ban and just haunted with the ghosts of "guys and dolls" of day's past.
It is so good that John Malkovich discovered it while shooting a film across the street from my building and then ate there every night. Not that he is the last word in culinary matters, but people like that eat out in the best restaurants in every city in the world on an almost nightly basis. Plus it's (relatively) cheap.
