Paradise Lost at Paradise Cove Beach Cafe in Malibu, California
Damon have you tried the burger at Rustic Canyon yet? Let's get a burger sometime. I would love to be fodder for your entries... http://www.diglounge.net/food/national-burger-day-at-rustic-canyon/
My Baby Blues BBQ in West Hollywood
I've been to this location, and while I didn't try the burger, the BBQ is just OK. A little pricey for what you get. My ribs weren't that meaty. Of course, the next week I went to Phil's BBQ down in San Diego and it blew Baby Blues out of the water.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Burger from Blackwell's Pub in Birmingham, Alabama
Yes, there is a place in Los Angeles called Mo's. They have a Foggy Bottom Burger with creamy peanut butter and sour plum jam. It's delicious!

Los Angeles: A Small Coincidence at Mini Bites
Bummer, I was really looking forward to trying this play when I saw the signage. I might still try it, but 4 bucks for two small burgers seems a little steep. Hopefully, they adjust their prices down a bit, or give you 3 for $4 in the near future.

Serious Eats City Guide: Los Angeles
I second Serious Eats LA. And I would love to write for them too ;)
You can't encapsulate LA's best food into such a small list. "Shelly" left a lot of good, if not better places off the list, but I'm sure it's culled from years of reviews, and not very current.
But IN N OUT is an LA institution CafePhine, more than Pie & Burger. Last time I went to 25 degrees, it wasn't that good. Lucky Devils is better. Wonder if she's ever tried it?
It is troubling that the best Chinese she could come up with it Chinois on Main. I do find myself thinking, more often than not, where to find good Chinese without driving through miles of traffic to the SGV.
The Nickel Diner in Los Angeles Is a Fine Diner That Hasn't Mastered the Burger
I've yet to try the burger, but their breakfast is really good. The BBQ pork hash is amazing, as are those little donut holes.

Bone in cowboy rib eye. I've even had a bone in buffalo rib eye recently, to die for!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage
Sounds like I need to check out the Salt Lick!
But in LA, when I want good BBQ I go to JR's BBQ
The Carney's Burger Trainwreck in Studio City, California
Carney's is hang over food. When you're already dehydrated, hung over and starving and what you need is grease. Also, I think their chili dogs are better than their burgers. If you want a Chili Burger go to the original Tommy's. Eating at the Tommy's in the Beverly Center just isn't the same.
The Hungry Cat, a Seafood Restaurant Serving a Great Burger in Hollywood
I managed to eat the burger, sans egg, without cutting it up, it can be done.
Are Soul Food Restaurants Dying All Over the Country? A Serious Eats Poll
I just tried a brand new soul food spot in LA called the Waffle Factory. It's alive and kicking here in LA...

We got one here in Los Angeles finally! Look out in and out burger!

Paradise Lost at Paradise Cove Beach Cafe in Malibu, California
Hey dude, you got to eat at the restaurant that was next to Jim Rockford's trailer!!! That's seriously cool. I'm all over this place when I get to LA. FYI it used to be called the Sandcastle.
Los Angeles: A Small Coincidence at Mini Bites
Jays was an institution. I once gave the heimlich to a choking patron there and then ran out of gas on my way to see Leon Russell at the Knitting Factory. Chili cheese with egg please.

These little guys are indeed cute--so sad they are not so tasty. Regardless of all that, what great fodder for your very fun and smart read!!

Fresh veggies and commodity beef? Curious priorities.
Los Angeles: A Small Coincidence at Mini Bites
People need to stop trying to make everything a slider, especially meats that are chopped. The buns are so tiny that there is not enough surface area to contain the loose ingredients.
Nice review Damon.

We must have slider purity!
My Baby Blues BBQ in West Hollywood
Sounds like this place needs to apply the occam's razor principle to their burger makin'... simple is best.

i live almost directly across the street from this restaurant -- i came in with the bf on a saturday at like 8 -- the hostess looked at us with a completely straight face and told us it was an hour and a half wait. WHAT?! ha. naturally we did not stay.

Google doesn't think lincolnberries exist. I don't either. Also, the combination of what are presumably lingonberries with mustard and bleu cheese sounds just awful.
My Baby Blues BBQ in West Hollywood
Lincolnberry (??) mustard--I can't get the photo out of my mind. Yikes.

Why do people make it so hard? Burgers should be easy and simple to make and taste GOOD.

Want a good pizza in So Cal? Vincenzos, in Santa Clarita. I prefer the store on Boquet Canyon and Copper Canyon, the one off of Lyons, while bigger and a bit more constructed, doesn't do as good a pizza.
The vegetarian pizza is terrific! I wish I still lived there to call them up to deliver.
My Baby Blues BBQ in West Hollywood
Haha. Really? The burger is awesome. If I was able to get to this place more than once a week, I'd eat the burger more than once a month. There's just too much on the menu.....too much to pass up on.
Listening to a guy who orders a burger the first time he goes into a BBQ joint might not be the sharpest of decisions. Alas, to each their own. Personally, I'll eat everything on that menu as much as I'm able to.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Burger from Blackwell's Pub in Birmingham, Alabama
Peanut butter on a burger is awesome. Although this is coming from a guy who like peanut butter and tuna salad sandwiches (hey, give it a shot!)
Peanut Butter and Jelly Burger from Blackwell's Pub in Birmingham, Alabama
I have a jar of homemade jalepeno jam in my refrigerator, and I have made burgers with peanut butter before. I think I am going to have to put these two wonderful ideas together sometime very soon.

"You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone."
Peanut Butter and Jelly Burger from Blackwell's Pub in Birmingham, Alabama
I had a friend whose family would have hamburgers every sunday after church and they'd put peanut butter on them. I had them a couple of times and it actually worked together quite nicely!

i might want to check that gyenari place out.
Serious Eats City Guide: Los Angeles
Some of the best Thai food I've had is found at Suriya's, where service is always fast, and food always very delicious. I highly recommend the spicy eggplant. :)
Serious Eats City Guide: Los Angeles
god, I love in-n-out.
and gyenari is the place for korean bbq. i love my korean bbq.
Serious Eats City Guide: Los Angeles
KBBQ is always bomb. How's the galbi? I can eat a platter of that thing for everyday the rest of my life.
Serious Eats City Guide: Los Angeles
I actually just went to Gyenari the other day. The happy hour was great! $2 Hite beers and the cocktails are very good!
Serious Eats City Guide: Los Angeles
Best Korean Restaurant is by far Gyenari BBQ & Lounge in Culver City. I love the DJs spinning on the weekend and the appetizers.

Is Kung Pao Kitty still open on Hollywood Blvd? Obviously it was more hip than the places in Monterrey Park (and not as authentic) but I always liked it, in that PF Chang, i know this isn't "good" but it's still good, kind of way. (Know what I mean?)
What about Peruvian? I used to go to Mario's all the time, but I'm sure there are much better places now. Any of you LA serious eaters have suggestions? I'm going for a visit in Feb.
