Who:   Japanese tourists and Midwestern transplants craving a hunk of prime rib.
What:   Sure, the prime ribs are ginormous and as divine as you would hope, but it's all about the details here at this LA staple. Touches like the spinning salad, tableside carvings and primly-dressed waitresses, transport you to another time. No wonder this space has quickly become a global empire in its own right.
Why:   Where's the beef? Right here.
