Mel's Diner on Highland in Hollywood

I was subway hoping with my friends and Sean, my friends son, who wanted a burger. He's 4 years old and was getting cranky as we exited the Hollywood Highland Red Line Station. I figured it was either Mickey's Fountain or Mel's Diner. I was afraid I would not be able to resist the banana split at Mickey's Fountain so we went to Mel's at 1650 Highland Ave LA CA 90028. Dana got a traditional cheese burger, Dave and i got the portabello burger (note: no beef patty in the portabello burger) and Sean got a kids menu thing that came in a fold out classic car thing. It was pretty nice. It's kinda Happy Meal-like. I know Mel's is a chain but I keep going back there. It's pricey, trendy-touristy, and the food isn't all that great. I don't know why i keep going back? Sean seemed content and that's all that really mattered. Sugar level back to normal and we went back on the subway. Sean loves riding on the train.
