That's right. My blog is so HOT it merits a "guest" post.

The Ground Beef Gem in Ktown

It’s not all Pinkberry and Galbi

Good day to all you fellow humans that enjoy stuffing meat into your food belly, you are my kind of blog reader.

The first real post on this blog talked about some great K-Town fooderies, it mainly focused on the traditional menu of the community, bravo!

But what happens when the line at the Tofu House is too long during your lunch break? Or you realized that you’ve had Korean food 34 days in a row and would like a change, what do you do?

The answer:

CASSELLS BURGERS

3266 W 6th St
Los Angeles, CA
(213) 480-8668
Google Maps, Reviews, Info

Now if you haven’t heard of Cassell’s, what’s wrong with you?

If you search under Google there are approximately 224,000 results for the name, I get that not all may be for the burger place but the first page on the search engine was a smorgasbord of reviews.

Unlike some of the snootier burger lovers out there, I am a traditionalist.

And Cassell’s delivers it.

From the cafeteria trays you use to hold the burger, to the impatient stare you get from the grill master, this place rocks.

The patty is usually well-done unless specified (go medium) the bun soaks up the juices from the meat rather nicely, but the thing that makes this place special are the condiments. It is a do-it-yourself bar, which sold me on this place when I first tried it in 2001.

So go to Cassell’s when you need a break from Ktown – enjoy the sketchy dining room, the rude grill master, but always smile at the Korean lady who works the cash register.
