That $50 sandwich sounds great but not on the sidewalk at Hellhole and Vine.
I had the burnt ends sandwich once and it suuuuuucked
I thought everything I had there sucked…starting to worry that Addison has a bit of (chef) star fucker in him.
Thought I’ve had APL beef ribs at Alex’s Lemonade Stand and they were wonderful.
Tell that to jessica largey
Certainly not in this review.
Minus the beef on which Perry Lang justly prides himself, a lavish dinner at APL doesn’t hold in the center. This came into sharp focus during an unfortunate experience in late January, when I happened to dine at the restaurant on a night its broiler system had gone down; the only steak available was a filet mignon. An attempt to rally only highlighted the weak spots: a gloppy and disjointed Caesar salad, a crab cake that seemed meager, dull branzino in lemon brown butter looking lost on its enormous plate, fine enough pasta pomodoro, an odd take on a pear crisp in which the fruit comes half-cooked in skin-on chunks. The sides, all nice enough, needed the beefy centerpieces to feel like an event. The filet, for me, didn’t measure up to its dry-aged counterparts.
You hated the steak but liked the fries and peppers.
I stand corrected - the fries were good.
But those blistered peppers were like being robbed in broad daylight.
hahahahaha
pricing seems…reasonable?

$14 burnt end sandwich, $7/quap brisket, $6 chili dog
Excellent. Now I can order that insane sandwich and sit down to eat it.
Beef rib $32 / lb., Saturdays only.
Best I can find so far:

Has anybody been for lunch yet? I might be in that part of town next weekend. I remember all of the rave reviews when we was doing bbq but never had a chance to try.
Yes, me 
Impromptu visit today a little before noon. Beat the rush to score a comfy booth.
Got OOE bbq meats 1/4 lb each brisket, pulled pork; half a slab of pork ribs. Everything ALC. Pickle salad, spicy coleslaw and potato salad.
Didn’t order bbq sauce. Didn’t come with bread, but when I was nearly done, the chef who’d finished his carving duties came around to all the tables including mine to offer bread. I was kinda taken by surprise and said “No thanks, it’s a low carb day.” Doh.
Not cheap, but worth a drive for me from SaMo. Could imagine chowing down on this every 30-45 days.
Menu below:
Pork ribs look EPIC!
Best looking pork ribs I’ve seen in LA in a long time. Might have to do a Saturday so I can taste some of the beef ribs.
I took a closer look at the menu, that $50 sandwich is available, too.
I would be game for a Saturday adventure here sometime for lunch. I think the lure of lunch is way stronger than dinner.
@js76wisco @attran99 Looking forward to your Saturday reports, especially of the $50 prime rib sandwich and Saturday-only lunch beef rib.
Didn’t know what to expect with the earlier reviews about dinner, but I really enjoyed my lunch here eventhough there was no table service. Reminded me of Grill on the Alley in BH, but dimmer daytime lighting.
I may need to roll in with a group to go in for the $50 sandwich…too rich for a party of 1.
It’s definitely too rich to eat without 3 - 4 people if you’re normal human. Our superhuman FTC’ers? Maybe they can tackle it solo. 
I’m so glad you posted this. I am putting together an itinerary for some young visitors that have never been to America. We can visit Hollywood Blvd. and have “real American BBQ” in one stop.
