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
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.
