Oh, and please, no recs for Hot Dog On a Stick. :-) Thanks very much. Thu Apr 27 22:51:32 -0700 2006 0 ipse dixit 1 451089 Fred 62, and I believe Caribbean Bistro in Pasadena. Thu Apr 27 23:22:31 -0700 2006 451081 0 chica 2 451096 jamba juice makes their lemonade daily. Go in the early am and you can watch them sqeeze the lemons in the oj machine. Have bought pure fresh lemon juice before for my own lemonade from them. Fri Apr 28 00:01:01 -0700 2006 451089 0 susan taylor 1 451091 My house. Sorry, I don't mean to be snarky, but I recommend that you visit a Mexican market, where they sell these incredible handheld citrus presses and then go to your local farmers market for the best, freshest lemons and squeeze away! Depending on the sourness, I squeeze out a 1/8 to 1/4 cup and then add water to one cup or one-and-one-quarter and then add Sweet and Low to taste. It only takes five minutes or less. If I am in a purging mood, add hot sauce. IMHO, I can't find better anywhere. Thu Apr 27 23:26:07 -0700 2006 451081 0 Gypsy Jan 1 451092 Skooby's Hot Dogs on Hollywood Blvd squeezes their own. Thu Apr 27 23:29:13 -0700 2006 451081 0 Professor Salt 2 451154 Skooby's lemonade is very good, as are the dogs. The fries are even better. Fri Apr 28 13:44:20 -0700 2006 451092 0 godvls 2 451504 Second Skooby's. Lemonade and fries are indeed excellent. I think the dogs are so-so, especially the buns. Best lemonade is simply to grab a few lemons, some ice, and some sugar. Shake it up, adjust to your personal taste, and enjoy! Sun Apr 30 16:22:08 -0700 2006 451092 0 Scooty 1 451100 Try Phillippes downtown. The sandwitchs might be overrated, but they have great lemonade. Fri Apr 28 00:31:37 -0700 2006 451081 0 young_chower 2 451102 Phillipe's lemonade is not fresh. It's good but it's not fresh. Fri Apr 28 00:46:02 -0700 2006 451100 0 Wally 2 451120 Actually I don't necessarily think the sandwiches are over-rated BUT .. The meat (when I was a child 50 plus years ago) used to be hand-cut by the server as the sandwich was being made. Slowly that concept has disappeared with the notable excpetion of the LAMB sandwich which is still hand-cut. (Ham was the last one they removed from the hand-cut option). Thankfully, lamb is my favorite meat so I am in heaven. So if you like lamb, go for it at Phillipes. Otherwise it is the pre-sliced stuff.

Lots of Soul Food places will have great lemonade. Fri Apr 28 09:23:33 -0700 2006 451081 0 running pig 1 451130 I second Jamba Juice. I also like the lemonade from the recently-much-maligned La Brea Bakery. Packs a punch. (Mostly I keep a container of fresh-squeezed lemon juice mixed with simple syrup in the refrigerator, then mix with sparkling water, club soda, and/or vodka, on demand. The juice will keep for weeks that way.) Fri Apr 28 11:12:45 -0700 2006 451081 0 Christine 1 451144 Thanks for all the recs. I found a pretty good rendition this morning at Lovebird's Cafe in Pasadena. Fresh squeezed and they even added a sprig of mint on request (but oddly no vodka). Not bad at all. Will have to try Jamba Juice ... I've had Philippe's and, sadly, it tastes very canned to me. Next stop? Gypsy Jan's house. :-) Fri Apr 28 12:58:38 -0700 2006 451081 0 ipse dixit 2 451300 OK, i.d., I look forward to your visit. You haven't lived until you have tasted fresh squeeezed limas (in Florida they're called key limes). At the markets in Rosarito, Baja California Norte, they sell for about 50 cents a kilo (2.2 lbs.) No sweetening needed. :>) Fri Apr 28 22:38:05 -0700 2006 451144 0 Gypsy Jan 1 451174 I find that the lemonade at Houston's is outstanding...fresh and tart like it should be! Fri Apr 28 14:49:59 -0700 2006 451081 0 iLoveFood 1 451280 La Casita Mexicana in Bell has an agua fresca version that they put chia seeds in. Also Europane has some but it is overly sweet IMO but fresh. Fri Apr 28 20:51:27 -0700 2006 451081 0 Oro3030 1 451447 Quality Food and Beverage on 3rd St (west of Fairfax) has terrific lemonade and great breakfast and lunch items. They refill the lemonade without extra charge and are quite generous. I go there to guzzle down their lemonade. Cafe Hiro in Cypress also has delicious fresh lemonade. I fully understand what you mean-- gotta love fresh squeezed lemonade. Sun Apr 30 02:53:50 -0700 2006 451081 0 apfb 1 451594 I think Bread Bar on 3rd St near Robertson is great for lemonade.

More sweet than sour. Sat May 03 17:51:16 -0700 2008 3653206 131162 JackonCrack 2 3659367 Good bump. The Farmer's Lemonade at City Bakery in the Brentwood Country Mart. Cream + Lemonade = perfect Mon May 05 16:28:35 -0700 2008 3653206 101728 Frommtron 1 3654246 Crumbs bakery squeezes and mixes the lemonade fresh as you order. I once ordered lemonade instead of a latte, thinking it would be less time and "hassle" for them to make it, but the 5 minute wait was worth it.
