"After 76 years and a history of evictions, closures, and a formal 2018 shutdown after losing its original stand in a fight over historic landmark designations and redevelopment, I’m excited that Irv’s Burgers is expanding into a familiar corner at 1000 S. La Brea Avenue, taking over the former Top Round space and returning it to a simple, commuter-friendly burger stand. The new, just-over-1,000-square-foot spot features easy outdoor seating, standing counters, and a serving window where co-owner Sonia Hong can continue charming customers with her beloved paper-plate doodles; Hong and partner Lawrence Longo, with chef Armen Piskoulian, will keep the menu focused on the classics — the signature Just For You burger, a double burger, hot dogs, chili cheese fries, and milkshakes — with delivery via Postmates and UberEats and a targeted opening date of March 3." - Farley Elliott
