The latest pit stop on Bauer's old-school dining journey is Nick's Restaurant, which has been serving Pacifica since 1927. The "classic mid-century decor...looks like Las Vegas, circa 1955," and "the food is good." Bauer's top recommendations: "very good" fish and chips and a "really good" fruit cobbler. (In fact, he describes four different things as "good" in the space of one paragraph.) "Service is fast and friendly," and the crowds are still big, so get there early. [Inside Scoop]
