You won't find a poultry explosion here, but you will find a staggering variety of delectable Cantonese seafood. Who needs white meat and gravy when shark fin soup is available? Maybe your taste is a bit tamer. Try a clay pot of braised ox tail for $11.95 or a sizzling steak platter for $16.95.

A relic from a kitschier age, Clifton’s Cafeteria is one of the last vestiges of Old Broadway in downtown Los Angeles. Bring the whole family, pick up a tray and make your way through the maze of cafeteria-style offerings. You're sure to find plenty of turkey and gravy and you'll enjoy eating it in the faux-woodland wonderland dining room next to the fishing bears or by the wishing fountain. And if you still feel need to give thanks after all that eating you can always sit inside the tiny chapel on the second floor.

Specializing in pizza made with a sweet potato crust that's injected with a sweet potato mousse, Mr. Pizza Factory makes the weirdest pies in Los Angeles. The cuisine at this Korean-owned "pizza fusion" joint is very mad-scientist, but it's delicious! No one can call you predictable when you suggest dining here on Turkey Day.

There's nothing here but burgers, sandwiches and homemade fruit pies, but it's been a winning formula since 1947. Besides there isn't anything more American than being thankful for a juicy burger consumed in a quaint urban cabin in West L.A.
