Late-Night Snack: Onion Rings at Du-pars
()
Very few places can claim bragging rights over their onion rings. One place that can is Du-pars, the long-lasting 24-hour Los Angeles diner and bakery that has three locations in the region (Farmer's Market on Fairfax, Studio City and Thousand Oaks).
Their onion rings, as described by the menu and priced at $7.00, are "hand cut rings dipped in cracker meal and buttermilk fried to golden brown," and are extremely delish, especially dipped in ranch dressing. Apparently, these types of foods are popular at the restaurant, according to their website: "Du-par’s has also developed a strong following for its comfort foods"
Also to check out? Snack also loves their pancakes (the secret recipe from the 1938 is kept in a safe at the Farmer's Market location) and their homemade veggie burger. The pancakes are best eaten in the morning when the batter is fresh. Late-night pancakes are just ehhhhhh. More at Du-Pars: Du-pars Chicken Pot Pie
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
