The indulgent confection is finished with shavings of pink chocolate and topped with thick ribbons of pink chocolate on top.

Beef and bacon are the stars of Slater’s 50-50 patties. But for those who can handle the heat, the 50 Alarm Burger swaps bacon for spicy chorizo. Ghost pepper-studded cheese, habanero poppers and jalapenos complete this fiery creation. Prefer sweet to spicy? Try the candied bacon-covered brownie.

The unpretentious, old-school vibe at this West Hollywood fixture belies a roster of celebrity regulars. The real stars here are the comforting Italian dishes, such as a chicken alla parmigiana that devotee David Arquette describes as “carbs on cheese on sauce.” This dish starts with a chicken breast that’s coated in breading, then fried in oil with a dash of sherry. The bird comes smothered in marinara sauce, blanketed in bubbling layers of melted cheese and accompanied by a side of pasta.

What started as a two-woman operation on wheels has grown to include a pair of storefronts and a fleet of trucks to keep up with the demand for Coolhaus' unconventional ice cream sandwiches inspired by the work of famous architects. Duff Goldman, for one, is a fan of the Two Story Sammie. This salty-sweet novelty is made with Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream studded with shoestring french fries and crushed malt balls. Two creamy scoops come stacked between three black-and-white cookies.

This shop churns out 2,000 pies a day, but it’s one in particular that has Richard Blais hooked. Apples from the company’s own orchards are doused with sugar and cinnamon, then nestled into a delicate crust that’s baked to a flaky finish and topped with a rich combo of melty cheese and ice cream.
