The Hit List: New LA Restaurants To Try Right Now - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Rita's is just a burger counter the way that Game of Thrones is just a soap opera. In roughly 400 square feet, this retro DTLA luncheonette combines everything you’d want in an old-school diner (leather stools, checkered floors) with new-school touches. The food is a love letter to '50s-era fast food, and somehow, even more memorable than the space. Expect crinkle-cut fries, beer-battered cheese curds, milkshakes in paper cups, and grass-fed patties on seeded buns. The buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and roast beef special are hits, but we’ll be back for Rita’s “deluxe” burger. Seared but not smashed, it tastes like an Animal-style double-double got jacked doing Crossfit and added on bacon and chopped cherry peppers. If you regularly lunch around downtown, bee-line here to try it." - Brant Cox, Sylvio Martins, Nikko Duren
