    I've never been to Marty's, but I can tell it's a quality place by the way it looks. Bad paint job, no place to sit, a fat guy loitering, junk piled up outside, gas station fumes in the air, a sign with a stupid generic tagline like "Home of the combo"... places like this don't stay in business without killer food.

    Although it seems like cheating to put pastrami on chili cheese fries without calling them pastrami fries, that looks delicious. It also looks like I would turn into your sig after one order.

    Yup, been there many times. And, yup, the chili burgers are great - gooey with cheese the way chili burgers should be. I was also addicted to the chili dogs for awhile. (All of this was before I went on my health kick and stopped eating all that crap). They have a breakfast burrito that's pretty good, too - though the better place for breakfast is just east of there on Pico - John O'Groats.

    btw, my Dad grew up in Cheviot Hills and remembers Apple Pan and Marty's back in the '40's (wasn't Marty's then). So, these joints have been around a long time!

    I have no oven.
    hard to make fries.
    I don't like to eat processed frozen food.
    I have deep fryer but that's a lot of oil to waste for some fries.
    Hard to make fries.

    Sometimes I par baked them on bbq then sliced them thick and pan fried them on each side in olive oil and garlic. Sprinkled with chunky salt curry powder.
    I love ketchup therefore love fries.

    Late to the party here. Was not impressed with five guys, overpriced and too many selections I know some people like to build their own burger though. In N Out is always good, and beloved by Asians throughout the south land.

    For me the best burger in LA is Tommy's, it's that burger thats a pain in the ass to eat, messy as hell , so good and guilty you can't stop eating it and you feel like crap afterwards. Ticks all my boxes.

    Grew up in ER..An well Tommie's is a staple..When your waning a chili burgers there is no better PERIOD!!!!...

    Our High schools use to fight over who could hang out there..Even tho WE as Eagle rock High School students claimed it as our own ( due to it actually being in our town of EAGLE ROCK!!!)..Franklin HS ( From Highland Park) use to come by our TOMMY'S and try and fight us...Guys being stabbed over a cheese burger..Yup..happened...True Story!..We prevailed and Tommy's is still ours..PURO ERHS ! Bkitches..

    BTW I myself threw down for the Honor of keeping Tommy's in Eagle Rock FOR Eagle Rock!!!.

    Fuck Franklin HS....PURO Eagle Rock Ese'!!

    But for real..20 years later..seems reaaaally!.. Fucking stupid>>>!!!

    At the end of the Day!..Good aZZ chili burgers, Fries, and hot dogs!
