Yellow Paper Burger - Review - Eagle Rock - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Former roving burger pop-up Yellow Paper amassed more followers than The Grateful Dead over the past few years, and now you’ll find their signature smashburgers sold exclusively from a slightly retro counter-service spot on Colorado Boulevard in Eagle Rock. These are solid, well-built smashies with crisp toasted buns and a nice punch of heat from chopped yellow chiles, plus the usual suite of toppings: American cheese, pickles, shredded iceberg, raw onion, and tomato. Don’t overlook the rest of the menu, though—we enjoyed the non-burger items even more, including chili-brined pickled eggs, crispy tater tots with “ronch” (a yogurt-based dip somewhere between ranch and tartar sauce), and apple hand pies baked in-house daily. Once your order, take your haul out to the restaurant's charming brick patio. With lots of picnic tables, string lights, and some Depeche Mode bopping on the speakers, it’s a pleasant spot to spend a lazy afternoon with your crew—including fur babies, too. Several patches of astroturf are available and there’s a “pup patty” on the menu. We haven’t tried it, but the dogs around us appeared to approve. photo credit: Brant Cox" - Brant Cox
