Where to eat, what to do in Los Angeles for golf fans

Pink’s Hot Dogs

This list has to begin with In-n-Out since that’s usually my first and last stop on any west coast excursion. Double-double animal style for this New York native and Floridian transplant is a must whenever I can get it but it’s not the only delicious fast-food treats.
