Burger She Wrote

This tiny, order-at-the-counter spot in Beverly Grove has a short two-smashburger menu, available as a single or double (plus a grilled cheese and fries that are complete afterthoughts). Flavor-wise, we like these burgers. Structurally? They’re a big mess. The pressed patties are nearly twice the size of the bun, with a juicy center and lacy edges that crackle like burnt toast. Rather than some sweet-tangy Thousand Island sauce, you taste dill pickles and a ketchup-mayo-mustard combo that oozes out the sides. We’d strictly come for the Oklahoma Burger, topped with a mountain of onions mushed into the salty patty. They add a nice caramelized sweetness, but also make the whole thing so heavy it collapses in your hands after two bites.
