Irv's Burgers...
Have any of you been to irv's burgers?
Apparently it's on Santa Monica and Sweetzer in West Hollywood. I gathered the following from their website:
1) This looks like a place that at least one of us should have been to at some point.
2) It also looks like a place that should be preserved, especially considering all the ugly development that's been going on in that area. (Ie. big box retailers barging into neighborhoods, historic landmarks being destroyed, and the faces of communities changing).
Anyway, I haven't been there yet, but am definitely going to drop by soon. Who's with me?!

nope, never been, but i'm game. and this gives me an idea which also follows up on previous postings by jenny & greg... let's do a feature on the best burger in LA. who's with me???
great idea on the hamburger taste-off. although what are the rules. There are so many types of burgers out there, the classic hamburger, cheeseburgers, chili burgers, pastrami burgers....... all good but can you compare them all against each other?
yeah. i think we should do the burger taste-off. I would say we need to do it from the foundation of the burger FIRST...simply put...the basic cheeseburger. Now clearly other enterprising gourmet places will add sh*t like gruyere and aged swiss rather than american cheese or cheddar of the corner stand variety but I think if we stick to the basic cheeseburger FIRST and each of us eats one according to our liking (like me...no onions but someone else yes)...we can give a good assessment of every luscious layer.... THEN we can move on to....I PROPOSE CHILIBURGERS!
I hear Irv's is in danger of being demolished by a developer, but loyal customers and local residents are trying to unite to preserve the small hamburger joint. It is indeed a historic landmark in this burger-centric town, and hopefully its saved from becoming a Starbucks in the same way Jay's JayBurger was saved a few years back.
A burger tasteoff is a fine, fine idea....my friends and I have had the same idea ourselves. I think we've only balked for the fear of major weight gain, as I know I fancy myself a burger almost any day. But unlike our pizza taste test, a burger taste test is a bit harder to coordinate; I think its a great idea to minimize the variables and just focus on the standard cheeseburger.
