A Blu burger for National Burger Day
Happy National Hamburger Day. Today’s burger is from Blu LA Cafe, winner of Downtown News’ best burger in 2009. This was one meat on a bun we hadn’t sunken our teeth into yet. So this past weekend, when Amgen had tied up the streets of downtown and there was no getting in or out, we [...]

It’s time to come down off my burger high from last month. I probably didn’t eat as many as I had planned to for National Burger Month, but my stomach, and heart, are thanking me for that. So it’s fitting that I downsized my burgers this weekend when we stopped in at Mini Bites in [...]

For my third burger during National Burger Month (my second was the turkey burger at 8oz) I stopped in at Westside Tavern. Like the movie theater above it, the restaurant is huge at over 10,000 square feet and room for 300 diners. And like you might expect, it was packed on this Saturday night. It’s [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, start your stomachs.
