The Best Burgers in Los Angeles | Eater LA
"Ben Shenassafar’s Melrose restaurant the Benjamin, which he operates with partners Kate Burr and Jared Meisler, serves a signature burger that harkens back to upscale New York bistros and thick bar burgers. A loosely formed patty is cooked to medium-rare, with the inside still pink and juicy. A thick slice of seared onion sits on top, resting on melted American cheese. Pickles and hickory sauce round out the burger, adding a touch of smoke and acidity. Herb and salt-tossed fries come in a silver cone with garlic aioli and ketchup for dipping. It’s a hulking burger, large enough to split between two if ordering any other dishes. Always pair it with a martini, a glass of wine, or a Manhattan from the drinks menu. Know before you go: While the tables and booths are both great, the best seats at the house here are at the bar" - Eater Staff
