"If you’re like me, the phrase “Abbot Kinney burger bar” probably gives you pause. But don’t sleep on Adrift - because the burgers are fan-f*cking-tastic. They’re from burger king David Myers, formerly of LA’s Comme Ça (the now-closed home of a burger once declared “perfect” by The New York Times), and since there are only three on the menu, you can (and should) order them all. The 1940s Classic is their old-school option, while the DM (with aged Vermont cheddar and “secret sauce”) and the Adrift (kicked up with tomato-and-Indian-ajwan jam, pickled jalapeños, and a pair of cheeses) push things forward. And though the latter was my favorite, they’re all worth your time - as are Adrift’s amazing strawberry shakes and fried button mushrooms with a smoky dipping sauce. It was all so good, it made me forget my judgmental ways for, like, an entire hour." - James Montgomery
