While it’s often said that Angelinos are early morning types, given L.A.’s rich breakfast and brunch scene, there’s still plenty of folks in this town who covet the night owl way of life, and that includes squelching the after-dark munchies. Perhaps you’re picking up a friend who’s coming into LAX on a red eye flight and both of you are starving, or you’re getting off of work late one night and would prefer to save your stomach from Taco Bell – you could even be coming off a swan dive from a table during K-Town karaoke, and it’s time to reward yourself with 3 am wings.
Whatever the scenario, after-dark cravings are inevitable, so grab your friend, even if she’s stumbling on those sky-high stilettos after a sexy night on the town, and try one of the following late night food spots in Woodland Hills.
Fat Sal’s, located at 16901 Ventura Boulevard in Encino, offers an experience you’ll want to be a part of, serving “guilty pleasure” sandwiches and sides with a notable East Coast vibe – in fact, this is everything a traditional New York-style deli has to present, from signature Fat Sandwiches and Hamburgers to Fat Fries. A “Fat Sandwich” combines all that is tasty and wonderful and stuffs it into a one-of-a-kind, ridiculously delicious concoction between bread, pairing different meats, cheeses, condiments, sides and house-made sauces…but what truly makes Fat Sal’s so special is its staff, ensuring to get every order right while truly caring about the customers.
