Hole in the Wall Burger Joint

A hidden gem tucked behind the Winchell's at Sepulveda and Santa Monica, Hole in the Wall Burger Joint serves burgers that, at $7.95, can stand up against gourmet restaurant versions that cost twice as much. Full of flavor and fat, this is a coarsely ground, loosely packed, thick beef patty with enough savory meat juice to moisten the bun without being greasy. It comes with all the basics: choice of cheese, offbeat spreads (chipotle mayo) and veggies. Even those who don't relish the idea of relish may be tempted by the house-made mixture tinged with cinnamon, clove and sweet peppers. Get the bacon for an extra dollar (remember it's cash only): It's thick and brittle, with a crispness that endures. The Kennebec fries, piping hot and fresh from the fryer, are well worth $2.50. The pretzel bun is a must. This dark-brown, braided round with a firm, shellacked exterior and dense, chewy interior is ideal for sopping up the remnants of one of L.A.'s best -- and most budget-friendly -- burgers. -Elina Shatkin

Lee Just went to Hole in the Wall. It was simply perfect. I did have the pretzel bun per recommendation in LA Times best burger article. I think people probably like it because it holds together really nice, supports the burger, and doesn't get soggy. I will probably try the brioche bun next time, because I'm one of the minority that likes the bun a little juicy. The burger was simply exquisite ... It belly to backed Apple Peddlar (which I do like) in a 5 point throw. I grew up on grain fed cattle, and the burger was crazy good. You should have seen the juice running out of it when I unwrapped the package. Happy sigh. The French fries (home cut) were fabulous, and those clever fellers put DILL in the homemade ranch. It was simply divine...all the way around.
