I'm interested in Genuine L.A food, maybe "traditional" is not the right

We have recommended these, or taken visitors to them. Typical L.A.,
we think. You might like reading about them. By no means a complete
list.
* Musso & Frank's. Old school Hollywood, great comfort food,
service and martinis.
* Il Campanile. Nancy Silverton's home base, great food for
decades.
* Valentino Santa Monica. Classy southern Italian, great wine
list.
* El Cholo or Lucy's El Adobe. Icons of Mexican food, southern
calif style.
* Pink's. Most popular hot dog stand in town.
* In'N'Out burgers. A SoCal institution.
* Yuca's. Taco stand in a liquor store parking lot. Best
cochinita pibil burrito in the world.
* The Ivy. Classic celebrity watching while paying high prices for
good food.
* Phillipes. Sawdust on the floor. Home of the French dip
sandwich. 11-cent coffee.
* Ocean Star. Either downtown or Monterey Park. Excellent dim
sum, even helpful waitstaff.
Among many, many others..... -aem

Thank you for such an extensive recommendations list!! While I was searching for some of your suggestions on the web to get more info, I stumbled across the "Food Wiki" - MyCityCuisine. Did you guys hear anything about it?
They have nothing on L.A, so I plan to volunteer as a contributor there when I get back from my trip and would like to use some of the tips you gave me. Would that be OK with you? I'm so excited to try everything out. Although this looks like I'll be coming back with some additional pounds on my hot bod
