Burgers Never Say Die

What started as a backyard pop-up out of chef/owner Shawn Nee’s Silver Lake home quickly turned into an Instagram sensation, and then eventually into a brick-and-mortar space on Glendale Blvd in 2019. Known for its purist smashburgers, you need not make any modifications to the Regular (a single patty topped with ketchup, mustard, onions and pickles) to get that perfect burger, which turns out to be basically a McDonald’s cheeseburger, if McDonald’s was actually good.
