It's that time of year again where we celebrate America's classic dish—the glorious hamburger—for an entire month. One of the perks about this made-up holiday is that we get some sweet deals with it, like how throwback Koreatown joint, Cassell's Hamburgers, will be flipping $0.99 burgers on May 8.
The burger restaurant, which is nestled inside Hotel Normandie, will be offering their $0.99 burgers starting at 11 a.m. that Friday until they run out. We'd advise getting there early before the lunchtime rush.
Cassell's opened up in December just a few blocks down from its original location that was established in 1948. The favorite burger eatery had previously closed in 2012.
Cassell's Hamburgers is located at 3600 West 6th Street, Koreatown, (213) 387-5502
