Haché LA Will Soon Serve Fresh Steak Burgers In Silver Lake

Haché LA, a new steak sandwich shop, held their soft opening last night in Silver Lake.The promise of free food and drinks packed the new spot, which will have its official grand opening in location of Tarascos at 3319 W. Sunset Boulevard on September 18. Founder Michael "Mick" Schepers (who owns Mick's Karma Bar in Irvine) has some pretty strict parameters when it comes to what qualifies as a true Haché sandwich.
According to a release, the ground beef should be four hours old or less and of steak quality. It should be seasoned only after forming, and only on the outside-like a steak. Once formed, the patty must be cooked within a half hour.
The result is a fresh, high-quality burger-esque steak sandwich on a soft bun. The bun is attached in the back, holding in all the juice and toppings. We tried the Habanero Burger (chiles, queso fresco, garlic mayo) and the signature offering, the Karma Burger (american cheese, karma sauce, leaf lettuce, tomato, red onion). We washed them down with draft Pacifico and house made strawberry basil lemonade.
The restaurant's open patio style dining area connects to a busy kitchen where you can watch the chefs at work. There's a street side counter that looks directly into the kitchen as well. If you're looking for a classier, but still cheap, alternative to your fast food runs, this could be the place.

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.
