Hole in the Wall (Literally)

























Of all the places I've lived in, L.A. has perhaps the best burgers of all of 'em. Granted, I haven't tried EVERY single burger out there, but when you consider that In-N-Out, Five Guys, Father's Office, and The Apple Pan are all relatively accessible, well, let's just say that it takes a good strong dose of willpower to avoid a weekly burger fix.

Which makes that much harder when I discover a new place that does nothing but burgers. And does 'em well. REALLY well.

Thanks to the ever-vigilant SL, I was introduced to Hole in the Wall and was blown away. You fill out an order slip, turn it in and pay, and then your burger is cooked to order. Along with a variety of burger breads (including a pretzel roll) and toppings, they offer both regular fries and sweet potato fries. The dipping sauces for the fries (homemade ranch, ketchup, and chipotle mayo) are unbelievably good, with the chipotle mayo being the hands-down favorite. They also have a weekday "Grumpy Bill's Stimulus Package," where a freebie or discount comes with your burger.

Hole in the Wall is on Santa Monica Blvd. just east of Sepulveda in Westwood.
