LAX - IN-N-Out Burger - There's one very close, 92nd & Sepulveda (north) of the airport - you can walk there and back, maybe two miles total. There's also a small park across the street a great place for plane spotting. If walking give yourself a 2/3 hour window, if you Uber 2 hours should do it.

Here's the problem. The turn time for that Westchester location to get a burger is sloooooooowwww.

Yeah, that location does draw a crowd, but that's what happens when a place sells a very very good burger.

ORD - Giordano's deep dish pizza Rosemont/O'Hare (around 7 minutes -uber) https://giordanos.com/locations/rosemont-ohare/
For those of you who are only familiar with NY style thin crust pizza - Chicago's deep dish pizza has more of a buttery crust and because the crust is angled up it's deeper - there are layers and layers of cheese, pepperoni etc., of goodness Chicago style pizza is usually eaten with with a fork - it's a meal,
BTW, Giordano' pizza takes about 45 minutes from order to table, so if you're connecting, budget your time wisely. Also I have to add that Giordano's pizza is a great Chicago souvenir, 24-hour notice and your frozen pizza is packed up and ready to go (good for a 4/5 hour flight). I've done it a few times - just don't forget it under your seat.

I do like Giordano's! Our closest location is still over 30 minutes away.
They just opened a Lou Malnati's down the street from us and I liked it but I like Giordano's much more.

The place I will hit every time in LA is Dinah's.
It's a greasy spoon, but they have good fried chicken and good breakfast.
No matter what time of the day we go, I always order the German pancake.
Been eating here since the 70s.

The Big Lebowski and some other movies have been filmed there.

Oh yeah, Dinah's with the huge bucket sign on Sepulveda - GREAT fried chicken dinner. I heard something about redevelopment in the area but don't know details, I do know that Dinah's been in that location for years, and will not be moved.

There is NOTHING like a deep dish pizza from Chicago. Nothing and I mean NOTHING tastes better than a pizza from Giordanos.
