‘Merica 3.0 Burger @ Slater’s 50/50 | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 61 Quincy Freeman18 July 201600 views Slater's 50/50's July 2016 Burger of the Month is the 'Merica 3.0 Burger. It features a 100% Ground bacon patty, bacon American cheese, BBQ spiced bacon, a Frank's Red Hot Sauce dipped hot link sausage, sriracha bacon slaw, bacon baked beans, bread & butter pickles, onion strings, and honey mustard served on Texas Toast. I enjoyed the burger up until the point where the salt from the bacon patties overwhelmed me. Despite the ding I gave the sandwich in the video, it should be noted that I ordered the 2/3lb, which has two full 100% bacon patties instead of one. So basically what I am saying is that the ding is kind of my fault because I added an extra patty that would not have normally been there.

The Behemoth @ Grill ‘Em All w/ A3k | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 58 Quincy Freeman16 May 201600 views On this episode, A3K and I find ourselves at Grill 'Em All. Along with amazing (and fattening) food, the restaurant has a unique theme of metal music, which I learned. I had The Behemoth Burger, and their, High on Fries, Buffalo Chicken Fries. A3k had the Samoa Joe burger, named after the famed wrestler.

Bill & Hiroko’s Burgers | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 57 Quincy Freeman26 April 201600 views Bill Elwell, 89, might be the oldest man still working in the restaurant industry, but even if he is not, he is definitely one of the most content. He has owned and worked at the stand he purchased in the 1960s, and it does not seem that he could be any happier. The beloved stand, located on Oxnard Street between Van Nuys Blvd and Kester, was filled with customers as I arrived just before 3p.m. On this week's episode of The Burger Crawl, my friend (Wayne) and I take a trip up to Van Nuys, and try Bill & Hiroko's Burger for the first time. We enjoyed ourselves. and Bill's definitely lives up to the motto on their business card, "What In-N-Out Used To Be." I found out about Bill's Burger after being referred by a friend, and directed to the article Matthew Kang of Eater L.A. wrote in 2013 when Bill was 86 years young. Matthew's article (http://la.eater.com/2013/4/17/6450255/bill-elwell-of-bill-hirokos-hamburgers-in-van-nuys) gave a decent history and interview of the small burger stand, which I will let you read for yourself. What Matthew did not cover in the article is that Hiroko Wilcox's father allegedly shot Bill in the ass during World War II. Even if that is just an old wise-tale, Wayne and I still got a good laugh out of the irony.

Big Earth Cafe | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 56 Quincy Freeman15 April 201600 views If you are from Los Angeles, then you know who Big Boy is. Big Boy is the famed radio host of many popular radio stations in the city, I would say Power 106 is the most notable, and longest run (but don't quote me on that.) Additionally, you know that Big Boy had weight loss surgery. Well in 2016, he, his brother, and Food Network Star Contestant Kevin Robert have opened a healthy food cafe in North Hollywood. It is basically right up the street from Universal Studios on Lankersheim. On today's episode of The Burger Crawl, I sit down with Chef Roberts, and my friend and copy editor, Tatyanna Wilkinson, of the local blog I Heart NoHo (http://www.iheartnoho.com/).

Steak N Shake | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 54 Quincy Freeman1 April 201600 views I really put forth a good attempt to make it to Shake Shack's West Hollywood, CA opening, but it was late, and the line was ridiculously long. I was hungry, and if you need more excuses I can come up with them later. KHA Entertainment's Billy and I decided to find food elsewhere. We made our way to the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA where there is a Steak N Shake. Due to misinformation from Billy, I thought Steak N Shake was somehow related but he was completely wrong. Aside from a similar name, the two chains have nothing to do with each other. Steak N Shake is a delicious burger. The bacon could have been better but that just may be me being picky. I hope you enjoy this week's episode of The Burger Crawl.
