Pick up a pint and sample BierBeisl's special Oktoberfest treats - like Steckerlfisch (fish on a stick), radieshcen (salted radish) and brezeln (pretzels). We recommend topping these delights with spicy brown mustard and sauerkraut. The man producing the grub at the Austrian shindig, Chef Mairinger, has also created a few new spicy sausage recipes for the month of October.

Pecans and beef may not be your favorite food combo now, but you'll be addicted to it after trying the Willie Jane Burger.

Willie Jane also serves brunch and offers bottomless mimosas for only $15.

Most people look at pumpkins and envision a nice Jack o' lantern, but Chef Michael Bryant thinks of pumpkin sage gnocchi. At this West Hollywood gastropub the gnocchi are served with a rich medley of chanterelles, broccolini, beet greens and brown-butter parmesan. After trying this dish, you'll never look at pumpkins the same way again.
