  • Original Pantry, now owned by former Mayor Richard Riordan. Open since 1923, "never closed, never without a customer". Good thing I walked in when I did on January 15, 2013, because the place was empty.
  • The original location was nearby but in 1950 they had to move to make room for yet another freeway offramp. See how everybody's lined up at the left door? The right door is the exit. "Keep the doors shut to keep in the air conditioning."
  • Original Pantry interior. There are no printed menus. The menus are on the walls.
  • That's a huge pile of hash browns cooking.

  • Country-fried steak, hash browns, eggs cooked your way. There's also thick, greasy toast and a big bowl of gravy. We split this and it was plenty for two people.
