I’ll be in Burbank for work in Mid-February. It looks like I might have one lunch and one dinner outside of work events.
Any place I should check out? I’ll be near the airport and using Uber/Taxi.
Thanks!

I have clients in Burbank, and I never eat in Burbank. It’s 15-20 min to lots of other places with better food, in my experience. Even DTLA is quick if you’re not going at the worst traffic times.

Could I be so bold as to ask for a couple of recommendations?
Parameters
Price: on expense account but not unlimited.
Cuisine: No favorite cuisine but something atypical could be cool.
Alcohol: Yes, please! But it doesn’t have to be wine.
The LA Dining thread has an enormous amount of information, more than I could ever begin to get into, and I don’t know where all of them are, so it’s worth reading that thread with Google Maps open and just checking it out for places not on the westside. Some favorites in DTLA are Majordomo and Damian. In Japantown, there is Sushi Gen and Kinjiro. In Koreatown I like Kabawoo.

Sherman oaks and anajak aren’t that far away.

I’m one of the few on this board who don’t really love Anajak. The food to me is good, not great, and the room is painfully loud. The wine list is very good, though.
The area around Burbank has plenty of good food if you’re into persian/armenian? if so happy to give recs

Absolutely! Please do tell.
Raffi’s place is a classic persian spot in Glendale. Huge dining hall
Then there’s Mini kabob in glendale - armenian, small shack, no dining room, just a picnic table outside, also excellent
Yerord Mas just opened, western armenian, not kabobs, more cooked dishes, soups/stews and a killer brisket sandwich.
In Burbank, Sotta and Original Kabob Factory are excellent
Burbank itself has plenty of independent american restaurants that are decent. You don’t need to travel too far to eat something.
My friend’s bar The Famous is pretty good as well
Awesome, thank you Charlie! I’ll circle back after the trip.

Skaf’s in Glendale is solid for Lebanese. Great fried branzino, frog legs, lamb, as well as the standards. Low to no corkage fee.
If I had to stay in Burbank, it’d probably be a steakhouse like Capital Grille or Morton’s. You’re also not far from Hollywood & Studio City.
