+1. Ever since Who & GS took me here I've brought everyone I know to this place, "fanfuck'ntastic".

Oinkster is burger-joint style pastrami. Nothing special, but if you live in the area and don't want to drive, it's not like you have real choices. Billy's in Glendale doesn't do any any better with their pastrami.

OTOH, the Oinkster pulled pork sandwich and their fries rock.

There are two great pizzas there: The Grandma (their specialty), and the minimalist Tomato Pie.
Try the Grandma (especially if you like garlic).

But I don't think they sell Barbour wax dressing, which is what I need.

Any place in LA that sells good microbrews, or is my best bet online? Been wanting to step my beer game up and get some quality stuff in the fridge.
