[Los Feliz Slim]

There are probably good local joints that I don't know about, but there's a Hamburger Hamlet on Sepulveda and National that would be do-able from the airport. Also if more casual is OK I've heard good things about Ford's Filling Station in Culver City but I haven't been myself.

Ordering at the Palm is pretty easy which is part of the reason I like it. My standard is order is West Coast Gigi salad, bone in ribeye, half and half (fried potatoes and onions), creamed spinach, and sauteed mushrooms. Pretty hard to go wrong though.
