Eye Nosh: Now That's What a Lamb Burger's All About!
Here in the Golden State we perfected the art of the fast food burger, but at the eatery The Golden State they may have perfected the art of the Lamb burger. LAist's Lifestyle Editor Julie Wolfson happened to hit up the restaurant on a day when their special was the Lamb Burger and a Greek Salad. Before she could dig in she paused to take this Eye Nosh snap of the plate, and when she was done, there wasn't much to say except "It rocks!" (She also stopped by recently to chat with Golden State's owners; read her delicious interview to learn more about the duo behind the burgers and beer.)
Submit your own Eye Nosh food porn photos and mini-review to our LAist Featured Photos pool on Flickr (label 'em "Eye Nosh" too). And if you're in the mood for burgers, beer, and Scoops ice cream tonight, head over to The Golden State.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
