May is Burger Month! And while LA is an easy target for jokes of all varieties, the one thing that no one can take away from LA is its amazing burgers. After years of devouring said burgers, I have compiled a list of the 8 best that LA has to offer. The key, though, is that they must be completely unique to LA. Sorry In-N-Out, Tommy’s and 25 Degrees.
8. The Garage – The Garage Burger
The Garage opened up with little fanfare, which allowed its Garage Burger to completely slip under the radar and into my heart and stomach. The combination of juicy beef, sour cherry laquered bacon, cheddar and peppercorn aioli is a pleasant surprise and allowed this newcomer to the burger scene to make an impact.
Father’s Office and The Golden State (Fairfax) should be top 3.
Father’s Office is hardly worth discussing. They have one burger and cook it only one way with no regard for what their customers want. Golden State is a very solid burger with locally sourced ingredients, but little more than that.
Though not always in the conversation, I believe Rounds Burgers in West Hollywood, as well as their truck, is consistently great.
Heard great things, but haven’t made it yet. Looks like I’ll have to get there soon…
Have you still not been to the Standing Room? Try it! Love it. Order the Napoleon.

I know, I really have to get there. So close, yet so far away…
