Wed Oct 08 13:51:12 -0700 2008 231365 ocha 1 4091458 The two places I think of are the Original Pancake house (thin style) and Dinah's (thick style). I usually get the former with the homemade corned beef hash. Wed Oct 08 14:25:06 -0700 2008 4091364 23712 DiveFan 2 4091966 Katella Deli in Los Alamitos.

Thu Oct 09 11:43:36 -0700 2008 4091364 106704 Clyde 1 4093640 I seem to remember giving in to a fit of nostalgia for my Polish grandma's potato pancakes at Canter's some years back and being pretty happy. There's also a rockin' Polish restaurant in Santa Monica called Warszawa. Their pancakes were really good, and they have by FAR the best peirogis this side of my long-lost busha's. Thu Oct 09 11:49:52 -0700 2008 4091364 63148 jimverbose 2 4094786 I tried them at Canters last week. They were dry and pasty. ughhhh!
