There are so many restaurants in Los Angeles; it's a wonder that one can distinguish itself from another. One surefire way to do this is advertise a signature dish. Call it "world-famous" or just "famous." Or, name it and advertise it.
I've gathered a few of these locations in hopes of revealing the City's famous that are not just celebrities or politicians. Maybe you've got one to add to the list?
The Hat has famous pastrami sandwiches
Howard's Famous Bacon & Avocado Burgers: The restaurant's name says it all.
El Nopal is home of the "Pregnant Burrito"
Langer's is (also) famous for pastrami sandwiches
Marty's is home of the "Combo," which is like the "Hockey Burger" (below).
Mike's Hockey Burger in Vernon has its namesake famous menu item (a hambuger with 3 hotdogs cut lengthwise on top!).
Philippe's has famous French dip sandwiches (even though Cole's is around, Philippe's is truly famous).
Pink's has famous chili dogs.
Tommy's has World-Famous Hamburgers.
And finally...
Jerry's Famous Deli - why is it famous, and is it really that good?
I know there are more "famous" places out there and "home of the..." joints! What am I missing?

Whoa, i must try El Nopal... the pregnant burrito. Nice list Citynerd.
Zankou Chicken!
I've eaten pastrami sandwiches from New York to Chicago to LA and, although this might be hard to believe, Langer's makes the best Pastrami Sandwich you or I will eat. It's not the presentation or the people around you, I've been to more picturesque locales, it's the sandwich, and you can only know what I know by biting into and eating that lovely and lowly creation.
