Grillin' in the 'hood

Earle's Grill on Crenshaw just north of Vernon is a lot more than you'd expect. It has the best chicken and turkey sandwiches, along with a wide selection of great veggie products. On Tuesday, they have skinny fries that you can top with veggie chili that is the bomb. Dwayne Earle, on the right, started the business with his family after running a hotdog cart for a decade. The business opened in 1992 and became a sensation, for those in the know. Last time I was there, Dwayne said he's going to franchise and is looking for investors. Soon lucky people all over L.A. will know that Tommy's is so 1980s and Pink's is so overrated compared to this tasty, and comparably healthy, treat.
