The LA Times Daily Dish blog has just reported the closing of the original Pioneer Chicken in Echo Park. I remember Pioneer Chicken: there used to be one on Western that I would pass every time I drove to Wilshire Blvd Temple. Thinking about that made me think of other possibly-defunct fast-food joints of my youth: the All-American Burgers in Westwood and West Los Angeles (at Barrington and San Vicente); the Pup N’ Taco on Western and Sixth (and the Piece O’ Pizza across the street).
Ah, the memories.
Ah, the indigestion.
