"One of the few Black- and queer-owned businesses at the historic Original Farmers Market, Thicc Burger—which opened in September 2023—has closed; chef-owner Jay Wolfe launched a food hall on wheels called Mouthfeel featuring food from Thicc Burger, Plant Daddy, and PHAT Bird." - Eater Staff
"I found that Thicc Burger, which opened inside the Original Farmer’s Market in September 2023 to much fanfare, has closed; any mention of the restaurant has been scrubbed from the market’s website, the garage doors to the burger stall have remained closed during business hours, and Eater’s requests for comment via the restaurant’s Instagram account went unanswered. Opened by chef Jay Wolfe, it was one of the few Black- and queer-owned businesses at the historic market, and Wolfe recently held a pop-up on the weekend of July 20 in Chinatown but doesn’t have further events scheduled at the moment." - Matthew Kang
"For years, you could find pretty much any category of food at the Farmers Market, with one glaring omission: the grab-and-go burger. But now there’s Thicc Burger. This bright orange stall on the back side of the complex (next door to Singapore’s Banana Leaf) pays homage to the classic South LA burger made famous at places like Hawkins. There are nine burgers on the menu ranging from portobello to turkey, but we’d stick to the OG Thicc burger. It comes with a medium-thick, fast food-style patty topped with American cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and a smoky, slightly tangy house sauce. " - brant cox
"I enjoy the classic, messy, and thick burger at Thicc Burger in the Original Farmers Market as a counterpoint to the city’s smash trend." - Mona Holmes
"The cult pop-up moved into a stall at the Original Farmers Market at Third and Fairfax, bringing anti-smash, queer-Black–owned burgers that source from Huntington Meats and Kaylin + Kaylin Pickles and include breakfast items, fries, and sandwiches for the historic market crowd." - Eater Staff
