Opened in the heart of trendy Los Feliz by chef Fred Eric, this slightly skewed 24-hour coffee shop comes by its retro kitsch honestly. Eric remodeled the tiny corner diner with spiffy 1950s car-culture icons, including hood-ornament sconces and blue service-station smocks for the waitstaff. He then named it after himself (and his birth year, 1962) and peppered the menu with cutesy-sounding dishes. There's the "hotter than hell" penne pasta, a "white trash" tuna and "poorest boy" fried chicken sandwiches, burgers, salads, tofu scrambles, and a handful of Asian noodle bowls, including " NOO*DEL-I Noodle," a cryptic name for vermicelli noodles and Thai vegetables in lemongrass broth. You might feel like you've stepped into a Route 66 beatnik diner in TV land, but the clientele is very real and the food is comforting (slow service, though). Don't miss the old-fashioned shakes and malts, or the red velvet cake. Tip: Arrive early on weekends; after 10am (okay, 11am for the truly decadent), this is hungover-hipster central.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
