    Funny, other than ERB none of his other “champions” would be in my top 10. Burgers be like that tho.

    I can’t take an LA burger list seriously if Hawkins isn’t on it

  3. 100+ burgers over 8 years? So, roughly one a month? So do we all, buddy. So do we all

    Plan Check? It was the best burger like 10 years ago. Then about 5 years ago they changed the meat and the cheese and it became a Royale with cheese.

    I want to do this but the taco version of it.

    I would have done that but I could think of a dozen other cities around the country where I could have gotten a much more superior burger

    L.A. Burger was the best in LA before they closed. They even had an event where if you didn’t think it was the best, you’d get $100 and it went really really well, you guys. Really well.

    ETA: And they didn’t even have to lay off any of their staff. Not even Raquel.

    This list is like all the gimmicky burgers. What about meat cheese bun. What wins that category. Foundations make or break

  9. 8 years? Most of them are closed by now, especially after the pandy.

    Don’t go to Stout. They add a mandatory “employee’s health insurance” fee. Fuck them with a cactus.

    Ya I have been posting his guide around when someone asks about burgers.

    I just tied For The Win yesterday, I went to a show after, and when I got home I wanted another. For The Win was a great smash burger and I will be back there if I am in the area. This list is long and my buddy and I are (at the very least least) going to checking out his top spots.

    My favorite spot is MVPs in Long Beach. Get the Cajun fries

  13. Realkool

    TIL that I’ve been on a quest for at least 30 years

    Am I the minority on Forman’s Whiskey Tavern’s Jalapeño Burger in Toluca Lake? Is this a known thing for burger enthusiasts? It’s my favorite in LA that I’ve had

    Love the idea. Will have to try some of the ones mentioned.
