Is it just me? I didn't care for the famous burger at Father's Office at all. I can appreciate the different-ness of havine bleu cheese in/on a burger, but-- no. Great beer, though.

Can I put a vote in for Cassells in on 3rd street in Koreatown? Friendly peeps GREAT burgers, and they make their own relish and mayo. Not to mention that they offer free peaches, cottage cheese, and horseradish potato salad if you purchase a burger. Now that I work in West LA I miss that place terribly, I suppose I should try the Apple Pan.. as its around the corner from me.

OK, maybe the purists out there will eschew a green chile, corn salsa, and jack cheese burger - but thats what I order at The Counter; I'd bump In-N-Out and Tommy's off that list in a heartbeat to put The Counter on there.

Yeesh, who *are* these people!?!? Clearly folks in need of a visit to the chowhound L.A. message board. Or not, on second thought, for fear that they'll waste bandwidth if they try to share food-related tips or insight. (O.K., I'm officially going to hell now.) But seriously, why even bother living in Los Angeles if you rate those as top eateries?

Tommy's at #2 is a little high. If you order their chili, it will give you heartburn. I'd bump up the Apple Pan a spot. What about Carney's? How come they get shaft? They have "probably the best hamburgers and hot dogs in the world." And if you're willing to spend a little extra cash, Fudruckers can make a mean burger. P.F. Chiang's? You have to be kidding. I can name 50 better chinese restaurants in the LA area. Start just by going down the phonebook of Chinatown, Monterrey Park, and San Gabriel.
