The Golden State (CLOSED)

Follow the skaters on Fairfax into intimate burger joint the Golden State, in the running for best burgers in LA. Their locally-sourced the Burger ($12) is so mouth-watering, you’ll daydream about it weeks later. We recommend pairing yours with crispy sweet potato wedges ($4) dipped in curry ketchup and washing it down with a beer float ($8), made with brown-bread Scoops ice cream dipped in North Coast Brewing’s Old Rasputin stout. Bonus: Golden State sources as many fresh ingredients as possible from (you guessed it) California.
