Upon boarding your wayward carriage, I took it upon myself to whistle for my own pigs. The results were less than optimal:
I'm afraid it's now a wayward, wayward carriage...

'Twas but I that did the deed. As it turns out, the article just happens to picture one of my favorite family style restaurants in and around LA: Dupar's. They have world famous hot cakes that are stand alone in their affect on the pallate. There used to be several, now only one or two locations left, their most interesting being on Ventura Blvd. in the San Fernando Valley, in Studio City, where on any given day one may see people in the Business just enjoying themselves like you and me over a stack of hot cakes and coffee, or in my case Te Caliente! I hope they never close Dupar's. The waitresses are lifers and very unique as well, though, like every other restaurant in California, they are likely to be speaking Spanish these days.

Sounds intriguing - I'll go.
And there's one in TO as well. I imagine they still speak un poco Anglais in Thousand Oaks.
Nard, I honestly don't recall the prices, but if they were that high, I think I would. I only remember the unparalleled selection and immense portions...
