Square One Dining, the place hidden behind that Ugly Blue Building

Square One Dining in East Hollywood (that's what the locals call the area, who am I to disagree) is nestled behind the bluest thing since Violet Beauregarde, the Scientology palace on Sunset. I love the food here but I do have one major problem, the service is soso when it gets busy. So that means Monday thru Friday for breakfast instead of the weekends. Oh and there will be a 15 minute if you go on the weekends. When I say love referring to the food, I don't mean best friend from high school love, I mean Mom & Dad thanks for the Sega Genesis on Christmas Love!! If you want to start with coffee your good because their serving Intelligentsia. From there you have three must try options. Maybe more but I'm still in a rotation of these three. A must try is what they were originally famous for, pancakes covered in a homemade Carmel bacon syrup. Yep, your drooling now, I know it, because so am I. Next on the list is the french toast covered in candied pecans and a to die for homemade vanilla whip cream. This is amazing and I'm not even a huge fan of french toast. My favorite though, and the thing I order the most is the in house cured smoked salmon eggs benedict on potato pancakes. Growing up in Alaska I became quite a smoked salmon snob so I'm weary any time I see it on a menu. I decided to give it a try and it was just like home, by way of Los Feliz that is. Please go and try this place, I promise you won't be disappointed, unless they lose your ticket for an hour. Yeah that happened to me on a weekend trip there lol.

I don't own these photos

Wurstkuche, I'm sorry how do you pronounce that?

I have some problems with Wurstkuche. Number 1 it would be great if everyone who works at the place could agree how to pronounce the name. Number 2, don't go on a weekend there is no parking and the line is insane. The plus about the line is you can run across the street to Pie hole & get some pie while you wait. Number 3 the prices are way too high for sausage on a bun and their specialty sauces. My friends love the truffle fries but I think they taste like feet and not worth the couple bucks extra. There are of course things that I like about Wurstkuche.  The exotic meats menu has a duck & bacon wurst, it is a must order every time I go. I love the long communal tables in the back where they serve a large variety of import beers. Enjoy the dogs and make sure you get some pie across the street.
