Going to Cole's

So I went to Cole's, oddly enough just down Main St from the Nickel Diner, off of 6 th. I believe it is the oldest continually operating restaurant in Los Angeles. It used to take care of the railroad folk. It puts forth powerful arguments for being the originator of the French Dip. Phillipe's in Chinatown also does. I have not been to Phillipe's yet.

So I have the beef dip, and it's pretty good, and the apple pie and it's good too. I like a place that can endure, and give you good things to eat. The coffee I was not so crazy about. That struck me as strange I can *tell* you.
