I am contemplating flying out to LA for a few days after NAB this year (april 16th->20th) or something.
I would absolutely love to just drive around and see some facilities, meet some people , have some lunches, dinners, talk about flame or color or whatever else, nerd out!
HMU if I can come visit you , i would love to just take in as much as I can while I am there <3

LA food is incredibly diverse. But I guess if you wanted to get stereotypical, yeah, In/Out, Mexican, maybe even some Korea BBQ, street burritos. Pizza not so much, and very few deep dish, although there is a Detriot style place the people at my office like.
But the most important thing about gathering in LA, is what part of town to meetup in. The traffic and distance is real, and people will choose to attend based solely on this.
You might be interested in Bludso’s in Santa Monica, which is Texas style BBQ. Don’t know if Europe has this.
If you wanna get on the nose @cnoellert, there’s the Red Lion in Silverlake… Wirtshaus on LaBrea… Idle Hour is a fun spot in NoHo… Plenty of places in Hollywood… There’s also westside… If it were up to me, I’d say somewhere in the middle of the city so the eastsiders don’t get hosed. Fairfax/Hollywood zone, something like that…
