In my search to eat at as many vintage diners in Los Angeles before they get taken down, I stumbled upon this gem, near Chinatown, but on the 'wrong' side of the tracks.
Nick's Cafe started in 1946 with two navy buddies, became kind of famous for its ham, and was known unofficially by locals as the House of Ham.
That would explain the large pink pig stationed outside with the words OPEN on it.
I did a stock standard bacon and eggs. Being an Aussie in the USA, life is pretty similar to the way it is back home but sometimes you just want crunchy pork and runny eggs. The food was great even if this crappy picture I took shows half of it is gone. The waiter was super cool and her best friend had just moved back to the Australian Gold Coast so we had a nice chat.
Not sure if you can see by these pictures but there was a very cool collection of hand drawn pigs on napkins surrounding the area inside the bar.
Another one struck off the list, however, I have the feeling I'm coming back here.
