The Golden Era of Los Angeles Diner Burgers
Post-war Southern California gave rise to the flame-broiled charburger. Rather than griddling on a flat-top, open flame charbroiling renders excess fat while infusing distinct smoky char notes.
The Essential Burger Components
A classic diner burger demands 100% pure beef, crisp iceberg lettuce, ripe tomato slices, crunchy dill pickles, diced onions, and Thousand Island dressing on a toasted sesame bun.
