Are they the dry donuts you drove to try that were too sweet? Was it that cheeseburger that appears on every Best-Of list with the same consistency that is nowhere near as good as In-N-Out?

We'd love to know our members' thoughts on L.A.'s most overrated dishes in our comments during the discussion.
