Post #1 - August 28th, 2010, 11:17 pmNot sure how I missed it, but will have to trek up there before the summer is over. Sounds like it is the grandson/grand-nephew of the founders. Very tiny stand.
Yelp has generally favorable reviews, but a handful of scathing ones as well.

So how'd you like it?
I was at the real Mr Beef last month and asked about the LA branch. For what it's worth, Chris Zucchero, the son/co-owner, said there was no relation between the two businesses. I'm sure I don't know the whole story. Anyway, here are shots of the genuine article.
Not a bad sandwich but I'm really not a fan of their giardiniera, overwhelmed with watery celery.

Post #6 - October 3rd, 2010, 9:17 amIf you want to eat well on the Venice boardwalk, take your ass to Jody Maroni's Sausage Kingdom, over by where they work out @ the S end of muscle beach. Tremendous selection of custom sausages made in house (not sourced like Hot Dougs). Usually has about a dz choices available. Yucatan Chix, smoked w/mole, or stuffed with pomegranate and basil are just a few options. Selections change seasonally (even though there really aren't any seasons).
When I lived there, used to love the lamb w/curry and apples or a duck w/serrano and cumin. They used to hawk slices of them to the passers by. That's how they ended up being served @ Dodger Stadium... hawked it to the right guy in the crowd, who happened to own the Dodgers @ the time."In pursuit of joys untasted"
from Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata
