Here I am at 3:45am, just 15 more minutes until White Castle starts serving breakfast. In less than half an hour I'll be six or eight egg sandwiches heavier!
What are your late night/early morning crave spots?

Once a month we spend the weekend in Springfield MO, go to Aloha (the only attempt at a tiki bar for hundreds of miles) for lunch, attend a dance social that night, then at about 2AM its...Steak n Shake! We've had the same waitress for five years and she always keeps our pop glasses full at this 1950's neon and flashing light purveyor of chili-macs. I may just have to shoot a pic of it soon and post it.

the best thing about Steak'n Shake is that you can order everything with cheese 
i find any vintage diner is perfect for post-midnite cuisine...

I always crave McGriddles after a rough nite of drinking. Only the bacon, egg and cheese ones though.

McGriddles are gross. Santa likes them!

At 10:30pm they start pulling the hot buttermilk donuts out of the fryer at the local Winchell's and start dipping them in the hot chocolate frosting.

I've seriously considered moving to California for the express purpose of being closer to an In-N-Out Burger - was out there 2 years ago and it was absolutely the best! The only problem with the wife being a vegetarian she wasn't up for it! Also of note was Del Taco - just like Taco Bell but with french fries! Wow!

In San Diego (my hometown) it's taco stands late at night: Alberto's, Roberto's, Hilberto's, Adelberto's, etc. My favorites are Los Panchos, El Cuervo, La Posta.
Nothing beats a carne asada burrito, roll tacos, and a horchata after a night drinking!
How I miss it up here in the bay area. The "tacquerias" up here all serve huge garbage burritos stuffed with beans and rice and some gristly, greasy, unidentifiable meat. It's quantity over quality.
Here in the bay area there's only a handful of late night joints, while in LA there's a million great late night places, from Pink's to Johnny's Pastrami to the all-night gourmet at Pacific Dining Car (which I've yet to go to but am dying to try). Remember Oki Dog in the early 80s?

I crave mexican food from Detroit's mexicantown - Armando's or Xochimilcos. They serve you and OBSCENE sized platter of stuff, covered in 6 pounds of melted cheese.
There's no mexican food even close to that level of lactic hedonism here in Toronto.
