Hamburger restaurant · Downtown Los Angeles

"Don’t let the name fool: Heavy Handed isn’t just another ultra-smashed burger spot. This mostly Westside pop-up operation — known for its short rib patties and beef tallow fries — offers slightly thicker, extra-rich burgers that may technically belong in the smashed conversation, but are really much, much more. The duo of Danny Gordon (of Flatpoint Barbecue, another pop-up) and friend Max Miller have bopped around the city in 2021, moving from ongoing pop-up locations in Venice to one-off events at breweries, catered parties, and anywhere else they feel ike cooking. The word is out with fans who follow their weekly moves for those slightly seared, extra cheesy burgers. As always with Los Angeles, it is street food perseverance that keeps the people happy. Check Instagram for pop-up dates and locations. —Farley Elliott" - Eater Staff
