May Is National Hamburger Month ~ Countrywide

Yep that's right.  Time to get your priorities straight and eat some burgers.  Whether it be soy based or buffalo or turkey or beef; go out to your favorite place and chow down.  Check out some of my favorite places to grab a burger...

Fatburger - Turkey with Egg and Cheese.  Sometimes it's a double turkey with cheese... Sometimes it's a Boca.  But it's always good.

Fuddruckers - Buffalo with Swiss, Onions and Mushrooms.  People laugh when I tell them I love this place.  Bottom line: variety, build your own burger bar and jalepeno squeeze cheese.

Burger Bar - Buffalo with Swiss, Onions and Mushrooms.  See a pattern?  Famed chef Hubert Keller's burger spot.  Vegas and now in SF.  The fancy cuts of beef can get pricey but the buffalo and turkey are spot on.

Umami Burger - Locals are going crazy over this spot.  A bit pricey for the size but the flavor packs a punch.

8 oz. Burger Bar - Melrose designer burger shop priced just right with 3 dollar pabst and Oly's.

And hey don't forget dessert!  Homemade burger cupcakes... it's a labor of true love but worth it!

L.A. will also have to reimburse the street vendors for their past fines relating to this controversial sign. However, this does not include any other fines related to equipment restrictions or lack of permits. This also means that while a vendor can’t be cited for vending in areas like the Hollywood Walk of Fame anymore, they can still get cited for other city regulations.
