West 4th Jane

I drive by West 4^th Jane on my way to work every day. One day my coworker suggested we check it out for lunch. Unfortunately, they are only open from 5 PM on. So I went to grab a bite to eat and a beer before a softball game. The bar is very nice and has a great beer selection. The bartenders and waitresses all seem very friendly and it appears as though there are a lot of regulars that frequent the bar.

Now on to the burger. The burger is made from grass fed waygu beef which is very tasty. The patty was cooked perfectly and came on a rockenwagner bun with mixed greens and tomato. My issue with this burger is that it is very plain. For $11 dollars it should come with more. You can add caramelized onions and cheese for a dollar each. The rest of the burgers on so far came prepared the way they were supposed to be eaten. I wish this one was similarly made.

Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill

I wasn't expecting to have a burger, but I found myself at LA Live before a concert over at the Nokia Theater. My friend Neil and I decided to try Wolfgang Puck's Bar and Grill. Overall the atmosphere is what you expect from Wolfgang Puck; comfortable but classy. The menu is made up of choices for anyone and everyone.

Among many very delicious looking entrees, Neil and I decided to go for the burger. It came out on a bun covered with sesame and poppy seeds and a touch of salt. Neil likened it to weck from growing up in upstate New York. The bun was an excellent combination with the rest of the ingredients. The patty was made with very high quality meat and was cooked perfectly. It came with a garlic aioli and red onion marmalade. This was also the only burger on the list so far that came with pickles, which I love. Overall this burger was very tasty and I recommend it.
