"We all know LA is expensive, but sometimes it feels like just standing around and existing costs money. Occasionally though, we’re reminded that while the best things in life might not free, they're at least cheap. Which is why we adore Ercole’s, an under-the-radar dive bar that serves an incredible $12 charbroiled burger (made with fresh ground beef from the butcher shop next door) and even cheaper beers on draft, all less than a block away from the sands of Manhattan Beach. We’ve spent less just parking at the beach. Those attributes alone make Ercole’s worthy of landmark status, and that’s before you realize they’ve been doing it daily since 1927. Which is a lot of burgers." - brant cox, garrett snyder, jess basser sanders, nikko duren, sylvio martins, cathy park
