The Apple Pan

It’s “quality forever” at The Apple Pan, a legendary three-sided West LA counter that dates to 1947 and recently sold to preservation-minded owners Shelli and Irving Azoff. The restaurant’s steakburger remains unchanged, featuring a griddled patty topped with tangy signature sauce, mayonnaise, pickles, sliced tomatoes, and thick iceberg lettuce in a soft toasted bun. Clearly, a burger this classic calls for pie, which is baked in back daily.
