Editorial Review

Watch out, Denny's! Your brother/rival Norm is progressively making his way in LA, and with 18 locations already and an unstoppable fudge brownie sundae, it just might supercede. Ubiquitous but still small, this diner serves every omelette, steak, cheeseburger, and hotcake with a side of home-style warmth, keeping its patrons happy, loyal, and consistently filled with greasy fare. Family-owned and operating since 1949, its six-tiered American-style breakfast for just $5.99 is enough to keep this spot powered for decades and Californians continually obese.
