Stout Expanding Their Burger Empire to Studio City, Santa Monica

Heads up Studio City and Santa Monica, you're about to get more burgers! Stout, the burger restaurant that opened up two years ago in Hollywood's now burger-loaded Cahuenga Corridor, is prepping a second location in Studio City, to be followed by a third in Santa Monica.
Construction is already underway in Studio City for the Ventura Boulevard location, which is a respectably safe distance from the area's two major burger spots, The Counter and Umami, both at Ventura and Laurel Canyon. Stout Studio City is expected have a similar feel to the Hollywood location, and will have a large outdoor patio. Diners will order from a "slightly expanded" menu from the original. Construction should be done in late January, when construction at the Santa Monica location is expected to get underway.
