Reporter Steve LaRosa went on a Rock Pilgrimage to southern California recently, checking out many of the iconic spots you read about in travel stories or see on TV. In the first of two parts, Steve tells us about some of the food related stops, including Pink's Hot Dogs in Hollywood, The Grove (technically shopping and food), Tommy Burgers and Astroburgers, two all-time classics. The Sunset Grill (made famous by singer Don Henley), Randy's Donuts and many more are on the list. Mark will chime in with a few culinary tips of his own for the Hollywood/Sunset area.
