Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: 19x12

Righteous Bites

Fat Sal’s Deli (Los Angeles, Calif.) • Loulou’s Griddle in the Middle (Monterey, Calif.) • The Alley Restaurant (Aiea, Oahu, Hawaii).

In the Westwood Village section of L.A., three New York buddies are crankin’ out the kind of food they want to eat, including a monster “Fat Jerry” hero. In Monterey, Calif., a former bait shop turned seafood grill dishin’ up the bounty of this seaside county: fresh abalone sliders and a Dungeness crab feast. And in Aiea, Hawaii, a bowling alley spot with a gourmet twist servin’ its famous oxtail soup.
