From A Hamburger Today

One of L.A.'s Best Burgers at Rustic Canyon in Santa Monica

Q: why tolerate mass toppings on this burger, but eschew the perfectly reasonable vegetation at Tavern?

- an avid (and confused) reader who has sampled at least 50% of AHT's LA burger coverage.

Birthday Burger at Tavern in Brentwood, Los Angeles

$17 dollars, same price as the DBGB burger. A few miles away Rustic Canyon has $12 burger and beer nights. I can't imagine Tavern's beer (tho I love the food + ambience), being $5 + a pint of beer better than RC's.

Locanda Verde: Come for the Fried Chicken, But Stay for the Pie

What captxunderpants said, plus I'd like the chix to do a strip tease first. Ridiculous what NYC restaurants are allowed to get away with. First Ssam bar, now this? I missed Locanda Verde last weekend while in NYC, but $55 fried chicken was not what I had in mind.

When Is It Socially Acceptable to Share Food?

When is it socially acceptable NOT to share food? Assuming everyone's mom taught "sharing is caring", I find it hurtful when people even consider not sharing. You don't share, you don't come to dinners.

Great Cheeseburgers at La Grande Orange in Santa Monica, California

I've been avoiding LGO Pasadena due to the sheer hype and uneasy access. Definitely NOT going to LGO SM as an LEYE enterprise, but perhaps it's time to check it out and compare it against 6 other heavy hitting Hollywood burgers

Paradise Lost at Paradise Cove Beach Cafe in Malibu, California

WTF would anyone even bother to 1) go to this place 2) order food (burger) here 3) review it on a national "burger" blog. ugh!

It's Paradise Cove. Biggest AHT waste of time ever.

Hole in Wall Burger Joint in West Los Angeles

Read about this joint's opening and never was tempted to check this out. Reminds me of The Fix. Perfectly mediocre burger, it seems.

Brooklyn Grimaldi's vs. Texas Grimaldi's

Just went to Vegas' Grimaldi's in January, the bottom of the crust is definitely blacker than the pix from Houston's branch.

A gentleman (perhaps tourist?) actually asked the staff to send the pizza back into the coal oven for more brownage. Not a bad pie at all!
