Everyone has been to The Original Pantry except for me. Established in 1924, The Pantry has provided customers with generous portions of traditional American cuisine through lean and good times. Now in its new location at 9th and Figueroa [downtown], it's a great gathering spot. Margit Haut from the Luxe Hotel Sunset Blvd and I were downtown on sales calls this week and we couldn't help ourselves, we stopped in for the biggest lunch I've hand since my Grandma Krueger's kitchen table. As the Pantry's current owner, former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan likes to boast, "We never close. We're never without a customer."
