Goldburger Los Feliz

This burger joint in Los Feliz gives fans the best of both worlds: a still-juicy center but ample crust on the patties, which are always stacked double; the meat is more pressed around the edges than some of the city’s other smashburgers, providing plenty of texture in every bite. The namesake Goldburger comes standard with American cheese, a garlic-mustard aioli, pickles and perfectly charred grilled onions, but everything here is worth a try—especially the Bar Burger, which swaps the usual smash for a six-ounce thick cut patty with raw white onions, pickled red onions and “great” mustard-y sauce. The mixed alliums add texture and contrast to every bite, and while Goldburger still makes one of the city’s best smashburgers, we’d recommend the Bar Burger over any of them any day of the week.
