69235 Wed May 11 14:15:54 -0700 2005 11 2 Los Angeles Area 0 377211 Does anyone have a favorite place in L.A. for Arnold Palmers? I went to Clementine yesterday, where, of course, the AP (a.k.a., "50/50") was great. (On the other hand the mocha at Clementine was terrible! Blech -- a purplish warm skim milk topped with foam like fish eggs. The only hint of taste was nutmeg which was not why I bought it.) I find the 50/50s at Rita Flora Kitchen to be a bit watery although I approve of the fresh sprig of mint. The same drink at La Brea Bakery takes me about 3 hours to finish because it's so potent. Where else should I head?

Wed May 11 18:33:25 -0700 2005 377295 0 dajmont 1 377298 Not a fancy place, but I LOVE lemonade and the best I've had is at Scoobys on Hollywood Blvd. Their Arnold Palmers are GREAT! --Dommy!

I'll be loading up on the skoop fries and the homemade aioli dipping sauce too. Fri May 13 15:13:46 -0700 2005 377691 0 SoCalorie 1 377302 Funny that you ask that. I was just looking through the Gelson's circular last night at their new products and saw that they now sell "Arnold Palmer's Tee" mix. Probably not as great as some of the others mentioned, but it might work if you're at home and have a craving. Wed May 11 18:39:21 -0700 2005 377211 0 DB 2 377307 Glug. I have so much drinking to do. Powered Arnold Palmer mix from Gelson's is completely funny, I'm ready to add water right now. Wed May 11 18:55:57 -0700 2005 377302 0 SoCalorie 2 377618 So, DB. Your suggestion was the easiest (not to mention the silliest) and easiest for me to follow up on last night. I made a good effort but I was foiled in the cold beverage aisle.

For less sweet and more upscale, go to Joan's on 3rd. Thu May 12 00:32:58 -0700 2005 377211 0 Food Good 1 377404 My daughter considers herself a connoisseur - she has had APs at nearly 100 places. Her pick is the Parkway Grill in Pasadena - best lemonade anywhere and the iced tea is layered on top, not mixed in so you can get creative per your own tastes.
