mmm looking for a good liver and onions plate

[gado_gado]

i live in hollywood, but will drive pretty much anywhere. doesn't need to be fancy or anything. i had one years ago at some soul food place. lovely stuff. but today i woke up in the mood for some liver... or maybe some chicken hearts. any help highly appreciated!

I think the Smokehouse in Burbank has Liver and Onions, plus you can have the yummy garlic bread!

You don't have to drive very far....Victors Square on Bronson at Franklin has good liver and onions--most memorably, I ate it the night before my son was born and I've been eating it there fairly regularly ever since (18 years!).

My husband loves it at Orso on Third.

The only L&O I've had in SoCal was at the much-dissed Sitton's NoHo Diner, on Magnolia just a few blocks east of the 5. The liver was overcooked just the way diner liver should be, the onions were tender, there was good bacon in there somewhere and the accompanying potatoes and gravy were better than Mom's. All this in spite of the fact that I almost had to slug the waitress standing right in front of me (for ten minutes!) to acknowledge my presence.

I've somehow missed it on Pann's menu, but have made the all-important mental note...

The Buggy Whip in Westchester has good liver and onions.

So does Billinsley's in West Los Angeles

How about Sam Woo BBQ in Alhambra?

[monku]

Thought it was strange you mentioned Sam Woo. I ordered some house special chow mein and there was an abundance of liver in it which I wasn't expecting or wanted........ick !!!

Don't know if the liver & onions are any good, but on my way out of this great Mexican place I had lunch at today there was a sandwich board and one of the listed specials was liver & onions w/jalapeno & rice & beans for $6.50.

Daily Grill used to make a great version of calves liver and onions. They also added bacon if you asked. Might be worth a call to one of their branches.

If you want the soul food version, Venni Mac's M&M Soul Food on Centinela just west of La Cienega makes a decent version.

There you go Faulkner! M&M Soul Food is the one I got years ago. I really liked it.. but couldn't remember the name... Thanks!

The Bull Pen in Redondo Beach has it. My Uncle ordered it and said it was good.

I've never had it there, but my s.o. swears by the liver & onions at Musso & Frank.

Yes, it's one of the most reliable things on the menu there.

[kevin]

Yes, Musso and Frank grill for the Liver and Onions, and it's Hollywood in your neck of the woods.

Wash it down with a martini and what's left over in a cool sidecar.

I recently had good liver and onions at the Dresden room on Vermont in Los Feliz. The sides were so so, but the liver and onions was good. Also the decor is fab.

[gado_gado]

niice, thanks guys... i will try these suggestions!

It's funny but the only place in South OC I could ever find liver and onions was at IHOP (of all places). This dish does not appear to be very high on the list of American favorites (almost everyone I know can't believe I will eat it and less so that I actually like it). I just checked IHOP's website and it's not listed there, so I guess I was one of a small number who ordered it.

Don't want to dilute the OP's search, but would appreciate any ideas for South OC as well.

Yup. Now I remember..... that was the other place.

[monku]

Pann's has it on their menu. I've never had it there, but I'm sure they do a good job.
