Los Angeles, California - I met my good friend ‪@PeterBragiel‬ for a late night food tour around LA.
We hit four different late night food spots, and we asked the LA nightlife scene where to go!
Pink's Hot Dogs - The famous LA landmark, Pink's Hot Dogs is known for their chili cheese dog, but you can get a wide variety of toppings. The pictures of Hollywood celebrities who've visited Pink's hang on the walls, and the staff is incredibly friendly.
Canter's Deli - Since 1931, this is a Los Angeles institution and it's open 24 hours. Many Hollywood actors can also be seen at this late night LA restaurant eating their famous Corned Beef and Ruben sandwiches. Canter's is also known for their matzo ball soup and lox.
Leo's Tacos Truck - There are a million taco trucks in Los Angeles, but none better than Leo's Tacos Truck on La Brea Ave. Leo's serves up a variety of tacos including their delicious Pastor Tacos as well as my personal favorite, cabeza.
Original Tommy's World Famous Hamburgers - I guess it's all in the name. Since 1946 Tommy's has been serving their famous chili-cheese burger to everyone in Los Angeles.
Most people know about the hyped up In-and-Out Burger, but Tommy's is a local LA favorite.
Overall, I think my favorite LA Late Night food spot had to be Leo's Taco Truck, but Canter's Deli was also a great restaurant. I need to try pizza next time!

“Give, receive cabeza”. True words to live by 💯

[@GarethEats]

I am the voice of my people. 😂

[@armandovera2304]

Hey Gareth. This can have a double meaning.. Cabeza = Head.

[@luisbenitez383]

Straight up

[@The1Mustache3]

Cabeza is usually cheek meat... not brain. They use a different word for brain

[@deathblade909]

Hahahaha hell yeah

[@miguelnavarro2571]

You the man Gareth! Thanks for finally coming up and showing some love to L.A!

[@GarethEats]

Absolutely, Miguel! Still so much I want to see (and eat) here! 🍻 Any other favorite spots I need to hit?

[@GDEE6]

​@GarethEats Try Phil's BBQ , it's in Temecula. It's one of the best BBQ spots, hands down! About a 90-minute drive from LA going towards San Diego. Also, the best burger spot I've tried, called Hodads. They're located throughout San Diego. That place will knock the socks off your feet.

[@megancansino9293]

Cabeza is not brain, it's the head meat. Sesos is brain.

[@westcoastspartan1528]

I live in Colorado now, but when your drunk Tommys is the spot and the yellow chilies are a must. I want a Tommy’s burger now and I’m sober as heck

[@onlydbrasko]

Tommy's is my 911 guilty pleasure!

[@alexwallace6120]

"Give or Receive Cabeza is good" i can't believe you said that! naughty! lol I know bastante Español. I'm glad you brought your buddy. The hot dog looked good. When i was a teenager tried my ist chili dog from a hot dog stand. I loved it. I love tacos. When I was visiting a cousin near LA he took me to a Tommy's hamburger and it was ok .I don't remember it well. I do love In & Out burgers. We don't have them on the East Coast yet!

[@GarethEats]

Hahaha, thanks Alex!

[@kevinongchangco9869]

i thought i was the only one who caught this lol

[@mrxman581]

Yeah, there are a few around LA Metro area, but the original location is the best. It always tasted fresher.

[@renay1958]

Canters had great soups back in the 1970's. My favorite was barley bean. The deli sandwiches were good too.

[@armandovera2304]

Chili cheese fries at Tommy's is the 👌

[@brookesosa5032]

Loved watching this! You gotta try Cupid’s Hot Dogs next! A San Fernando Valley staple!

[@WhuttupIzzy]

Cow tongue is so fire 🔥 You can’t tell me otherwise

[@GarethEats]

100% agree. 🤝

[@FreeSpeechWarrior]

If you're still in LA, please try Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles and USA Burger.

[@ou4534]

I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers... Great video ✌️

[@ForeverChanged7]

All of those eateries in Los Angeles are fabdelicious. I sooo enjoyed this Gareth!

[@maylto8407]

I love the interviews/inputs from the drunk locals - definitely fun to see and interesting to hear their opinions

[@RogerLoera]

They were all fucking annoying!

[@abick8725]

Not really. If you’ve heard one, you’ve heard them all…

[@ahaaha84]

Loved this episode thank you

[@davidapacjr1989]

Peter Bragiel is an OG travel KZbinr! Good to see him!

[@thekimfam49]

All of these joints brings back fond memories. Unfortunately, now that I'm in my 40s, I'll only be able to eat at one joint every 6 months if I want to stay alive.

[@maryschroeder2539]

Grateful and Thankful. Delicious video.

[@GarethEats]

Thank you so much, Johanna! 😊🙏

[@TrentEvent23]

Lol that’s the only time I loved chili cheese dogs is at Dairy Queen visiting grandma Billie 😂

[@GarethEats]

Haha, yes!! I agree.

[@TheVileOne]

Can't go wrong with Canter's.

[@ronwilson4189]

OVER RATED GARBAGE AT CANTER'S ON FAIRFAX

[@jonyamamoto1396]

He made the rookie mistake of unwrapping the Tommy’s Burger. If you unwrap the yellow paper from one end only and proceed to eat downward you will be fine without spillage. You can always spot the rookies.

[@mrxman581]

Yup, you got that right.

[@reneechippendale3170]

So many funny sayings are gonna be born from this video 😂

[@GarethEats]

Haha, I need to make one my tagline... you decide! 😅

[@reneechippendale3170]

So many innuendos during your visit at Pinks 😂 “It’s actually really good” can have so many implications…. And Tommy’s looks like the Rochester equivalent to post drunk eats. Shout out to a fellow patron of Rah-cha-cha!

[@ronaldmiller2740]

GREAT PINKS GARETH,, GREATH,, LA CA.OOOHHH CANTERS ,, PASTRAME SANDWICH, CHOP LIVER SANDWICH,, MATZA BALL SOUP.. GO JEWISH POTATOS PAN CAKES..OOOHHH ,, NO WOW!!!! GUYSS GREAT JOB.. PEACE..

[@stampscapes]

Lived at Tommy's in the mid 80's during the college dorm days as the cafeteria food was pretty bad some nights. I started asking for the chili on the side and I'd add some into my burger and dip my fries in the rest to save a little money those days. lol.

[@solegonz762]

Monte Cristo! Wow, haven't had one of those for over 10+ years! Makin' me super hungry now

Cabeza tacos are so slept on but its my favorite taco - so delicious

[@Scyber_Official]

"Let's go drinking after we ate all this food! I really need to puke!" 🤢🤮🤣

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

Started episode one with a corn dog, now starting it off with a hot dog, what a legend

[@GarethEats]

Haha, an aggressive start to this LA series!! 🌭😳

[@mrxman581]

During my clubbing days in the 80s, Pink's and Tommy's were regular stops. At 2-3am there would be a line at Tommy's. You can order at both the front and back. I usually got 2 double chili cheese burgers. Back then they didn't have fries just potato chips.

[@selfself8813]

stick w/the chips. They haven’t a clue about fries!!!!

[@cesarcazares6728]

Canters 👌🏽

[@TheVileOne]

I don't think I've ever had a Cuban sandwich with French toast as the bread before.

[@deathblade909]

Yup you captured it perfect

[@grassroots8226]

As an LA native, they went to the spots!

Fun fact: Canter's Deli isn't Kosher.

[@bamboorepublica]

Love you Garth. You are so funny.

[@PROLIFIC_TRAVELS]

Ok so I got 3 spots if you have not been to them to eat at. TEDDYS RED TACOS and the BILLIONAIRE BURGER BOYS and HAWKINS HOUSE OF BURGERS, oh and 1 more spot. OFF DA HOOK SEAFOOD

[@iamhereblossom1588]

Cabeza is not brain, it's the meat around the head. Sesos would be brain.

[@selfself8813]

Pinks is not my go to. Try L.A.’s newly restored and brought back Tail of the Pup. The great hot dig place in the shape if a hot dog. In new location in WeHo, beautifully restored and with a large indoor/ outdoor new eating area. And a GREAT menu of dogs, etc.!!!

[@818boy]

Potato pancakes+ketchup 👍👏👏✌

It’s either sour cream or applesauce not both combined lol

[@sauditate4562]

Bruh , when you get a Tommy's double chilli cheese burger , get fries with it and eat the burger over the fries so the chilli drips over the fries and get chilli fries by default ...duh .... aaauuuggghhhh frickin' amateurs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Used to live on Fairfax and Melrose. I lived at Canters.

[@adamrosenbaum6328]

Speak for yourself! Mixing apple sauce and sour cream together doesn't make it not kosher (a reuben is way more sketch). I always put both on my latkes - that's a boss move.

One of my all time late night places is The Original Pantry. It's been open for decades 24/7. Some of the best breakfast and their home made sourdough bread is wonderful. Another place i would go but not sure they're open as late as when I went in the 80s and 90s is The Pacific Dining Car in DTLA adjacent. It's a little higher end but the place is old school cool.
