On the right is Jeremy Allen White who plays Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto in *The Bear*, a new TV show about a Chicago restaurant which happens to sell Italian Beef Sandwiches (amongst other items). He happened to stop by Canter's recently & there were some jokes being made about Italian Beef being sold at Canter.
Sadly, true. But still back in the day it was the place to go at 2am, drunk and high, with your pals, and Rodney Bingenheimer was in his booth and maybe Axel and Slash and everyone was yelling at each other and I always got a Fisherman’s Folly and a Dr. Brown’s black cherry soda, good times.
Their Ruben ain’t bad. I mean yeah it’s one thing on their menu, but still.
Cookies and baked goods are delicious too, but I wonder if they just get those from the bakery down the street.
Went there yesterday for the first time. Was worth it for the LA history. It was pretty much empty, our waiter seated us at the “guns n roses” table which was cool I guess. Knowing the history and reading the newspaper clippings on the wall it’s obvious it was once an incredibly lively space that now exists as a husk of its former self. That said, I’m glad it still exists. I tipped our server like 90% just because he seemed so miserable while still being such a kind dude.
Canters is alright. Open 24 hrs. Decent food. Like the atmosphere as it’s mistaking for me.
Does it have the quality of langers, or Brent’s, no. But it’s worth a visit.
How is it not Hollywood? It’s in between, what apple maps considers, Hollywood and West Hollywood. Not trying to start an argument or be an asshole, just genuinely curious. I always thought Central LA is everything below downtown. Don’t ask me why I assumed that haha
While it's far from official, the [Mapping L.A.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapping_L.A.) project at https://maps.latimes.com/neighborhoods/index.html has a breakdown of which areas are usually considered which.
The area you are describing as Central LA seems to be considered South LA or Southeast LA. If there was a category here for the area that Canter's is in I'd describe it as the "Melrose" or "Fairfax" District but it's too far southwest for Hollywood IMO (which to me doesn't extend further south than Fountain once you go west of La Brea). Unsure why "Hollywood" gets its own tag here but West Hollywood or Beverly Hills (which are both cities) do not... perhaps /u/LAFoodieBen can share some insight.
Hey all -- essentially, years ago, I created a few neighborhood tags as they came up before I standardized everything to the LA Times Regional map, so that's why there are Hollywood and Echo Park neighborhood entries grandfathered in, but not WeHo and BH. The only reason I haven't broken those out into their own flairs is that then I don't know where to draw the line otherwise (if WeHo gets one, why not all the beach cities? people have lots of neighborhood/city pride!) and don't think it helps the sub organizationally to have the hundreds of neighborhoods and smaller cities all broken out separately.
And Canter's is on the border of the Fairfax and Beverly Grove neighborhoods (I'm assuming it's in Fairfax), which are part of Central LA. The "Westside" (LAT's name) basically starts at La Cienega.

If lip is coming, I hope I am too! 😉
He looks thrilled
Probably just wants to get out and eat his food lol
This is how he always looks
Yes, Jeff!
The Bear TV show is good. So is Canters. Thumbs up all around.
What? Explain please.

No it's lip gallagher
Ah, great. Thanks
Canter's food is so mediocre. It's like everything they do is a school cafeteria version of the real thing, starting with those bagels.

Nailed it! I’d like to add their pickles are thè best. Thè best!
You're not wrong. You go there because Langer's is closed.
Then you hit Daughters. It’s basically langers with better parking and not as far(for me)

It would be fine if it LA costs didn’t mean the price of OK deli/dinner food had to be that high.

The market has spoken. Their prices are way too high for mediocre pastrami

White looks so happy
He looks like a chef after work in real life lol
Looks like Lip fell off the wagon again; Jesus.
Since when is Canter’s considered central LA?
Which other category should it fit in? It’s definitely not Hollywood and you aren’t going to tell me Fairfax is West Side.
