But is it worth it? I think so.

Usually.
Really? Gotta say that I'm not a fan of "fresh fries". Unless they've been frozen, they don't get mushy in the middle. I don't like "potato skin tasting fries". On the other hand:
Order the Double-double as ANIMAL STYLE!
Double cheese/ grilled onions/ double sauce
If you're looking for ambience, try the Standing Room in Redondo: great burgers in the back of a liquor store.
Then in Pasadena there is Pie N' Burger...
FatBurger, Tommy's (Beverly/Rampart), Father's Office....
Don't get me going.
If you do find yourself over near Mister Freedom, try for Margaritas at El Coyote- don't order a double.
And visit the "farmer's Market" at 3rd and Fairfax. There is a great little Mexican place called Loteria Grill.

2 double-doubles; Meat, cheese, ketchup only. I have the palate sophistication of a four year old, shoot me.

Pasadena has the highest restaurant to people ratio in the country I think. If you can't find 100 great places here, you're a redneck
It's lovely right now - only thing missing is some snow on Wilson, etc. Good timing! Safe travels...

I'd follow Johnathan Gold's restaurant advice.

He's been around the city for a long time, and he knows where to get the best eats. I'd stick to his ethnic picks and avoid some of the snootier spots.
Sunsets can't be beat at Gladstone's btw.

Guys, I'm overwhelmed by all these good suggestions, really. Gonna have to figure out a way to extend my stay. Fanch, do you think we'll be okay in this strange land, we only speak Okie, ya' know.....
Nick, my wife says she has been to your uncle's place!!, being a hotdog-on-a-stick kind of a gal.
Again, I truly thank you all for the kind advice and will try to heed as much of it as time allows. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas

When I was in college in Texas, I took a course in Speech 101. My Speech Prof asked where I was from, and I said from E Tennessee. She then said I didn't have a southern accent but talked like someone from Oklahoma! Anyhow hope you have a great vacation on the Left Coast and wish you Merry Christmas too.
