Hungry? is an indespensible guide to Los Angeles eateries, from burger stands to all types of international food. All the places are inexpensive, so you won't find Musso and Frank's in it. It's a must in my glove box on every trip I take to the L.A. area. Along with it's companion volume Thirsty?, which is a great guide to the bars of L.A.

I also use the Zagat guides frequently. I have discovered some great old steak houses by looking in the Zagat guide under the categories "Senior Appeal" or "Historic Interest". Sometimes the foodie lingo in Zagat irritates me, and their bar guides are useless to me (what about the quality of the drinks?), but sometimes they come in handy.

It seems like Citysearch has gone downhill recently. Instead of getting useful info sometimes it just gives you a huge list of restaurant names.
