Strolling down Hillhurst in Los Feliz, nestled between the cozy refuge of Skylight Books and the vintage glamour of Los Feliz Theater, you stumble upon a haven of sizzling temptation. It’s Goldburger - a joint that reminds you that, in the end, we’re all just hungry carnivores clutching our greasy rewards in bare fingers.
See, Goldburger doesn’t just make a burger, it crafts a symphony in a bun, a tour de force of meaty magnificence that redefines what a burger can be. You sink your teeth into grass-fed beef that’s been smashed into submission, topped with gooey American cheese and paired with pickles and a garlic-mustard aioli that whispers tales of secret recipes and clandestine culinary missions. Onions? A grilled offer on the altar of flavor, but for the uninitiated, an easy omission.
Let’s set the record straight. I’m not one to fall for the seductive allure of red meat. But a Goldburger? Well, that’s a different story. It’s an indulgence, a sinful diversion that’s worth every detour into carnivorous ecstasy.
Remember that primal joy when biting into a well-cooked burger, the cheese molten and inviting, the edges crispy with well-done promises? That's Goldburger. It’s satisfaction that hits you right in the tastebuds.
A word of advice: surrender to the inevitability and order two Goldburgers. Because like all good things in life, when it’s over, you’ll be left wanting more. At $11 a pop, it’s not just a burger, it’s an investment in flavor.
A fair warning to the fry enthusiasts, though, keep your expectations in check. The regular fries are a little blah. The curly fries look great but let’s just say they’re the understudy to the main event, the burger. Not every supporting act can steal the show.
And thus, it earns a solid 4 out of 5 forks. A smashing success, with a side of meh. But remember, we’re here for the star of the show. After all, at Goldburger, it’s a hands-on affair - no forks required. #GoldburgerReview #BurgerLove #LAFoodie #CulinaryAdventure
