Rich and deep in flavor thanks to shio kombu—along with that American cheese and caramelized onion—Broad Street Oyster Co.’s beach burger is hearty and worth an order, especially considering the quality of the meat. Niman Ranch provides high-end beef for these patties, which sear on the flat top to a perfect crust before getting sandwiched by brioche buns and all its dressings. You can even add Nueske’s bacon, a fried egg and avocado—or all three, if you really want to go big. This Brain Dead collab burger packs major heat and flavor between two halves of a soft sponge bun emblazoned with the Fairfax streetwear brand’s eye-catching logo.

The DH Burger at Amboy

Served on a Martin's potato bun, the thick patty made of Moo's famous smoked brisket comes loaded with American cheese and signature aioli, plus dill pickles and razor-thin raw onions to cut through all the fat. The peppery, smoky quality of the meat infuses every bite—and is definitely delicious enough to sway diners away from the rest of the menu. Inspired by the Big Mec, the burger at this Michelin-starred Arts District bistro mixes dry-aged beef and duck meat for a juicy, luxurious patty that plays well against sweet caramelized onions, beef tallow remoulade and a duck fat brioche bun. Though pricey, the burger's overall decadence makes for the city's most memorable new handheld dining experiences.

Thanks to a reworked menu and long hours, Jeannie Kim managed to keep her San Francisco restaurant alive during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said he thinks there could have been less restrictive ways to go after the company that wouldn’t result in a total ban or threaten free speech. Organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union have backed the app. “Congress cannot take away the rights of over 170 million Americans who use TikTok to express themselves, engage in political advocacy, and access information from around the world,” said Jenna Leventoff, a lawyer for the group.

California will supply first responders, universities with opioid overdose reversal drug for free

In Iowa, which raises about one-third of the nation’s hogs, farmer Dwight Mogler estimates the changes would cost him $3 million and allow room for 250 pigs in a space that now holds 300. If half the pork supply was suddenly lost in California, bacon prices would jump 60%, meaning a $6 package would rise to about $9.60, according to a study by the Hatamiya Group, a consulting firm hired by opponents of the state proposition. Barry Goodwin, an economist at North Carolina State University, estimated the extra costs at 15% more per animal for a farm with 1,000 breeding pigs. At the beginning of next year, California will begin enforcing an animal welfare proposition approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2018 that requires more space for breeding pigs, egg-laying chickens and veal calves. That makes it all the more frustrating that she fears her breakfast-focused diner could be ruined within months by new rules that could make one of her top menu items — bacon — hard to get in California.

Love Hour also offers a range of absolutely killer seasoned fries, tossed to order in flavors like BBQ, garlic-parmesan, and sour cream and onion, making for the ultimate burger-and-fries combo. Recently they've added a take-home kit, too, so you can always have Love Hour on hand for a good time. Often imitated but never duplicated, backyard pop-up gone permanent restaurant Burgers Never Say Die can largely be credited with sparking L.A.’s smashburger frenzy.

The subtly Japanese flavors come through in the form of curry aioli and a milk bread-inspired brioche bun recipe. Caramelized onions add sweetness and the eight-ounce patty is made of ultra-juicy, high-quality beef. Paired with Chubby Curry’s delicious waffle fries, it’s one of the tastiest and most (relatively) affordable indulgences in the 90210. If you can get past Moo's nitpicky house rules (no saving seats while in line, and you can't eat pre-orders on-site), this Lincoln Heights barbecue joint serves one of the most unique, gut-busting burgers in the entire city.

Two well-seasoned beef patties, cheese, pickles, a glop of hearty chili and a thick slice of tomato have kept this chain going since its first store opened on Beverly in 1946, and still draw crowds at more than 25 locations in California. You cannot eat the Whipper Burger at Hawkins House of Burgers without a fork and knife. And while some behemoth burgers aim more for quantity than quality, the Whipper manages to encompass both.

TikTok may be banned in the U.S. Here’s what happened when India did it

Arrive early at Echo Park’s James Beard award-winning sake bar or you’ll miss out on this flawlessly constructed chili cheeseburger, only available from 5 to 7pm. The housemade chili is rich and comforting, a thick slice of tomato adds textural contrast and the cheese adds an additional note of creaminess to each bite. Served with a knife, but best eaten with your hands, it’s a messy, comforting meal that’ll probably require wet wipes afterwards—which the staff is more than happy to provide.

The sale never went through for a number of reasons; one was China, which imposed stricter export controls on its technology providers. The U.S. government has not publicly provided evidence that shows TikTok shared U.S. user data with the Chinese government or tinkered with the company’s popular algorithm, which influences what Americans see. Members of both parties, along with intelligence officials, have worried that Chinese authorities could force ByteDance to hand over American user data or direct the company to suppress or boost TikTok content favorable to its interests.

Lawmakers had failed to act despite efforts to protect children online, safeguard users’ privacy and make companies more liable for content posted on their platforms, among other measures. Since mid-March, TikTok has spent $5 million on TV ads opposing the legislation, according to AdImpact, an advertising tracking firm. The ads have included a diverse group of content creators, including a nun, extolling the positive impacts of the platform on their lives and arguing a ban would trample on the 1st Amendment. The company has also encouraged its users to contact Congress, and some lawmakers have received profanity-laced calls. The company has good reason to think a legal challenge could be successful, having seen some success in previous legal fights over its operations in the U.S.

In November, a federal judge blocked a Montana law that would ban TikTok use across the state after the company and five content creators who use the platform sued. National veal and egg producers are optimistic they can meet the new standards, but only 4% of hog operations now comply with the new rules. Unless the courts intervene or the state temporarily allows noncompliant meat to be sold in the state, California will lose almost all of its pork supply, much of which comes from Iowa, and pork producers will face higher costs to regain a key market. The company has indicated that it would likely go to court to try to block the law if it passes, arguing it would deprive the app’s millions of users of their 1st Amendment rights. A standalone bill with a shorter, six-month selling deadline passed the House in March by an overwhelming bipartisan vote as Democrats and Republicans voiced national security concerns about the app’s owner, the Chinese technology firm ByteDance Ltd. The House has passed legislation that would ban TikTok in the United States if the popular social media platform’s China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake within a year, but don’t expect the app to go away any time soon.

TikTok has denied assertions that it could be used as a tool of the Chinese government and has said it has not shared U.S. user data with Chinese authorities. Kim, the San Francisco restaurant owner, said she survived the pandemic by paring back her menu, driving hundreds of miles herself through the Bay Area to deliver food and reducing staff. At least initially, analysts predict that even as California pork prices soar, customers elsewhere in the country will see little difference. Eventually, California’s new rules could become a national standard because processors can’t afford to ignore the market in such a large state. At one typical hog farm in Iowa, sows are kept in open-air crates measuring 14 square feet when they join a herd and then for a week as part of the insemination process before moving to larger, roughly 20-square-foot group pens with other hogs.

Both are less than the 24 square feet required by the California law to give breeding pigs enough room to turn around and to extend their limbs. Other operations keep sows in the crates nearly all of the time and so also wouldn’t be in compliance. The House’s overwhelming vote to ban TikTok unless it is freed from Chinese control suggests that a ban might be coming soon. Kim, who is Korean American, said she’s especially worried for small restaurants whose customers can’t afford big price increases and that specialize in Asian and Hispanic dishes that typically include pork.

These stacks caused so much commotion that they’ve wrapped three-hour lines around the block and even caused a fan to hire someone to wait in line for them. That success probably has something to do with founder Shawn Nee’s quest for perfection, and it’s paid off. Now, fans line up at this walk-up Silver Lake brick-and-mortar for buttery, paper-thin patties pressed so hard, the crisp edges almost resemble lace. Topped with pickles, raw white onions and a drizzle of ketchup and mustard, the Regular (a double patty) is like the best fast-food burger you’ve ever tried. Supplement with some CVT soft serve and a styrofoam cup brimming with beef-tallow fries and you've got one of the best, most nostalgic meals in L.A. The lobster rolls rightfully get all the shine here, but don’t overlook the seafood shack’s turf when you’re stopping by for some surf.

Jalapeño potato chips add texture and a hint of spice, while chopped yellow chili peppers add even more kick to each bite. Sure, we might all love our fried chicken sandwiches, but sometimes nothing replaces a classic burger (whether it's made with beef or not). We scoured plenty of greasy spoons to fancy French bistros—and, yes, even some nostalgic fast-food fare—to find the best burgers around. Just add a side of French fries and you have the makings of an all-time great meal.
