LOS ANGELES — Pann’s Restaurant sits at the corner of two intersecting boulevards, La Cienega and La Tijera, nestled in one of LA’s largest suburban neighborhoods, Inglewood. The restaurant’s interior is modeled after a 1950s diner: A long bar is host to swiveling white stools, and cushioned red booths are staggered along a wall of windows. The menu includes such items as fried chicken wings and waffles, homemade onion rings, southern fried pork chop, Texas-style French toast and, if you’re feeling spicy, the three-egg fajita omelet.
The restaurant’s walls are home to many interesting pieces, but one is especially integral to this story.
