Avon St. Grill

When you get broken for a walk-​away lunch inside a studio (Warner Brothers in this case), there isn’t much choice for the cheap bastard except the local commissary. However, in larger studios, there are actually a few more choices.
Avon St. Grill is located right up the Gate 8 entrance to the WB. It’s a small grill with no indoor eating areas. It’s all patio dining and on a nice day, there’s nothing like eating grilled-​up options in the fresh air.
But for cheap bastards like me, I still expect the best when I’m ordering a hamburger and fries. Remember, you’ve got In-​N-​Out and dozens of other fast food chains to compete with. And that’s exactly the problem with a studio grill — there’s no competition! No one is going to walk to the parking structure, get in their car and drive to a fast food joint when you’ve only got an hour for lunch.
So although Avon St. Grill is convenient, it lacks in flavor and texture. Imagine one of your friends on your backyard grill serving up a tasteless burger with some simple fixings and some limp fries to go with them. Not exactly a good meal, but hey, you’re inside a movie/​tv studio!
