Join LAist for an old-school Hamburger Fry! LAist associate editor of food and culture Gab Chabrán (he/him) fondly recalls attending these community-style events as a kid and now we’re inviting you to ours, featuring some of our favorite burger makers from around L.A. Gab and How To LA’s Brian De Los Santos (he/him) will talk with Alicia Lopez of Hangaburs, Jimmy Han (he/him) of Love Hour, and Jairo Bogarin (he/him) of Hamburgers Nice about their passion for smashed patties, burger history, and more! And it’s the 100th anniversary of the creation of the cheeseburger. Legend has it that in 1924, at the Rite Spot restaurant in Pasadena, this iconic meeting of cheese and beef was invented. There’s a lot to celebrate, so put on your party hat and join us.
How To LA is now five days a week! Listen here.
