New Menu Update

A Lifetime Commitment

Never have we had such an emotional outpouring as we have had since we took our beloved potato skins off the menu... so much so that we are bringing them back!

Here is a sneak peak at our favourite piece of feedback when we said they were only coming back as a special: “Dear BB, come back as a special? I don’t want them to be a dirty one night stand or a girl that hangs around for a couple of weeks for some extra play time. I want marriage, the real deal. A lifetime commitment. However, everyone deserves a second chance. The balls in your court.

Love - Potato Skins Lover."

More Pork Ya Dork

With almost as much uproar as the skins, it was clear our pork burger was something you couldn't bare to lose. But sometimes you don't know what you've got untill it's gone.

So much to our delight, our adored Pork burger is back! Packed with Harmony 6-hour pulled pork shoulder (free-range of course), gooey homemade BBQ sauce. apple mint slaw doused in creamy mayo!

Vegan's Unite

With alll the amazing feedback we've received on our new menu, you've also told us where we need to improve - So let us re-introduce you to our vegan burger!

Made with a mushroom, quinoa & walnut patty, roasted field mushroom, baby spinach, vegan swiss cheese, caramelised onion, green vegan aioli, tomato jam in a vegan gluten-free bun.

Love,

Team BB

Your Insiders Guide To The Best Burgers in LA

Whilst we would LOVE to claim the best burgers in the WORLD many would say that burgers true home is the great US of A soooo we sent our good friends Ben & Julie Barter on the very important taste testing mission to find the hottest burger spots in LA. Ben and Julie Barter are newly weds and live in Echo Park, Los Angeles. Ben is the touring drummer for Lorde, Jarryd James and a few others and has recorded drums for artists such as Kacy Musgraves, Kflay, Broods and more. Julie is a Los Angeles native and a fashion designer currently designing for & Other Stories' Los Angeles atelier. They are both passionate about food and Ben has always been obsessed with finding the perfect cheeseburger.

 

Burgers Never Say Die

Our first burger spot was one that has been on the list for agessss! We first came across ‘BNSD’ when we were at our favorite pool bar, they had set up out the back but the line reached around the block & we couldn't get in. Now they have their very own cool little spot right in Silverlake.

Be warned there isn't a lot of space inside so prepare to get cozy when your fellow burger lovers (hot tip: the locals aren't the friendliest bunch either). The cheeseburger is pretty good, think Shake Shack style coupled with a hint of McDonalds. Soft bun, nice crispy patty and great fries. - @burgersneversaydie

 

The Apple Pan

This is hands down my favorite burger in LA and has been since my first juicy bite 10 years ago so I was very excited to go back! Julie also agreed I could go all out & have a coke with my meal which was a huuggeee treat. The Apple Pan hasn't changed a lot since it opened in 1947. They haven't heard of employee of the month and it really shows but that's all part of the charm.

The line is also a little awkward as it’s first in, best dressed for a seat so you need to interact with other diners to see who's next (hot tip: thankfully the people are a little more friendly here). Also you'll want to know what you want to order straight away as the servers don't have time for any nonsense. Make sure to try the Hickory Burger & ask for cheese, it's super fresh and everything you want a burger to be. You’ll be hard pressed to find a burger that beats this one! - https://theapplepanla.com

 

In-N-Out

I once received a $50 voucher to In-N-Out and ate it every day for 2 weeks straight, it was one of the happiest 2 weeks of my life! It's always a good idea and they have nailed it down to a fine art with a very simple menu. If you talk to a regular there are a few insider tricks (a.k.a the not so secret menu) that are a must. Order your burger ‘Animal Style’, mustard is grilled into the patty and topped with lettuce, tomato, cheese, extra sauce, pickles and grilled onions or fries that are topped with cheese, In-N-Out's famous spread, and grilled onions. Want a bit more of a crunch ask for ‘Crispy Buns’ or for that extra kick ‘Chopped Chilli's’.

Milkshake fans you cannot go passed the ‘Neapolitan Shake’, Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla all mixed together! For a mildly healthier option ‘Protein Style’ is where you want to be, the burger is wrapped in lettuce. The alternative to this would be the ‘Flying Dutchman’ where you'll have 10 patty's in your burger! - @innout

 

Monty's Good Burger

Our last stop on the burger crawl. Based in Koreatown they are relatively new and have been very popular as their burgers are 100% plant based! Insane but great for the planet and possibly our arteries. The line is very orderly with an extremely chipper host to guide you through the menu, again very simple, but my advice would be order the single cheeseburger.

The virtuous ingredients have been planned perfectly to get a pretty accurate real cheeseburger flavor & feel. They also have Tater Tots on the menu and they are always fun! -@montysgoodburger
