Here’s a piece I put together for KCET, about one of my favorite summertime activities: pulled pork sandwiches deep in the LA National Forest. Made by a cowboy surrounded by donkeys. Let’s go.
Adams Pack Station: The Best Pulled Pork in L.A.
Serving as lookout just above the trailhead sits the Adams Pack Station, one of only a handful still functioning in the American West today. For the deep woods cabin lovers and those booking a night at the resort, a team of working mules and donkeys depart from the pack station loaded up with all the necessary provisions to ensure a memorable evening under the stars. They also sell Angeles National Forest Adventure Passes, those hanging indicators that you love the outdoors and don’t mind financially supporting it. But every third Sunday of the month, the pack station clears away the extra batteries and bandanas for sale, and switches into a cowboy-themed pulled pork sandwich extravaganza.

Duh.
(Pauly B. with the snaps)
It’s not that hard to understand why: both of these places suck.
I question the validity of the previous claim to LA’s best burger joints as they failed to mention the best 2 places:
Hole in the Wall Burger Joint (home made Brioche buns & Sweet potato fries!)
@11058 Santa Monica Blvd.
at South Bentley Avenue (behind Winchell’s Donuts)and
Rounds Premium Burgers (The best $5 burger money can buy.)
8871 Santa Monica Blvd. [open till 2am!]
West Hollywood
Hollywood’s El Matador v. Tacos Mi Teresita
On a shady strip of Western Ave, El Matador and Tacos Mi Teresita park not 20 feet from each other and compete for customers.
Two must enter the dimly lit parking area in front of a used car repair shop. ONLY ONE MAY LEAVE.
