Los Angeles Burger Guide: 17 Must-Try Burgers in 17 Neighborhoods

Cheesy burgers and beers at The York

By Lesley Balla

Los Angeles is a large expanse of villages and cities, which means we could possibly have more burgers per capita than any place in the country (a completely made-up fact, but it could be true). Everyone has their favorite neighborhood burger spot, be it a dive bar, fancy restaurant or quick-serve stand. So for Burger Week, we found 17 different must-try spots around the greater Los Angeles area, from Downtown to the Valley to the South Bay.

Mind you, this is not a definitive list - we couldn't possibly touch every single neighborhood in the Southland - and we left off some of the more well-known burgers (you know the ones we're talking about) and fast-food joints in lieu of spotlighting some under-the-radar spots. Check out the slide show of our picks, and please let us know your thoughts in the comments and on social media using #Burgerweek. And don't forget to vote for your favorite burgers on Google+ Local!
