"A full stack of five is a mighty tower of good eats. Du-Par's is famous for its pancakes, rightfully so."
Michael Stern
"Du-par's uses its own thick-sliced bread to make French toast. For $2.25 extra, you can get a crock of boysenberry compote to apply."
Michael Stern
"Why don't more restaurants offer pitchers of melted butter to go with the pancakes? Pouring it on is so much more efficient than trying to spread a cold pat. Not that Du-Par's pancakes even need the butter. They are buttery enough hot from the griddle. But it is so nice see and savor the swirl of butter and syrup on these superb flapjacks."
Michael Stern
"Moist and unctous but with a crisp web of skin, Du-par's corned beef hash is vividly spiced and has just enough onion to balance its brine with sweetness."
Michael Stern
"Coffee comes in a sturdy mug with a pitcher of cream. While you sip, ensconsed in a plush upholstered booth, you are serenaded by the clatter and sizzle coming from Du-Par's semi-open kitchen."
Michael Stern
"The coffee never stops flowing at Du-par's in the Los Angeles Farmers Market."
Michael Stern
"Fresh? You bet. Du-Par's orange juice is so pulpy it is almost like eating a sweet, delicious orange."
Michael Stern
"The broad-topped bran muffin is nearly as sweet as spice cake and chocked with fruit. It is so sticky that it is best eaten with a fork, lest one's fingers get caked with crumbs."
Michael Stern
"The farmer's market sign above Du-par's at approximately 5:30am"
Michael Stern
"At about 5am the week before Thanksgiving, they were decorating the trees outside of Du-Par's with Christmas lights. "
Michael Stern
"Next time, I will ask for my hash browns well done. The crisp web on the outside was great to crunch, but the interior potatoes remained too soft for my taste."
