The one on the right is missing a burger. Or is that extra cheese?Haha...that is a bat signal for me. Pie n Burger is legit. It's not my favorite version of that cheeseburger, as I think The Apple Pan does it better. I also think that Apple Pan's pies are far superior, at least the banana cream pie, which is my favorite, is.

Goldburger is fine, but it is just one of a bunch of grass-fed smashburger stands to pop up over the last several years. The burger at For The Win is better:
But my favorite smashburger is also the cheapest from The Win-Dow. The steakhouse to which it is attached is quite good, though slightly more expensive than it should be, which I attribute to location. The cheeseburger at the Win-Dow, however, is the same superlatively high quality ingredients for under five bucks.
I am not a huge fan of pastrami burgers, and I do not think that The Oinkster does a particularly good version of it. There is so much great pastrami in LA that any restaurant wading into that area is facing extraordinary competition. I think the pastrami burger at Hawkin's House of Burgers is probably the best with The Hat being a close second. My personal favorite is at Johnny's in West Adams:
The Office Burger at Father's Office has been arguably the best burger in Los Angeles for the last 25 years. It is shockingly good, and it is the only dish that I insist friends and family get when they visit the city for the first time. The location that the guys in the video visited is my least favorite, just because it is the newest and has the least character, I think. I love the original location in Santa Monica, though it is often prohibitively crowed. The french fries served in little shopping carts definitely amuses visitors. Yet, the location in the historic Helms Bakery building has been my favorite for a very long time. During the pandemic, they had one of my favorite delivery pivots: an Office Burger and two Pliny the Elders delivered fresh to the door quicker than I could typically get one ordered right at the bar.
Good info
Next time I go to LA, one of the first stops will be Northern Thai Food Club

I have yet to try Quad Cities pizza because I am never there more than an hour or so. However, their local ice cream chain is as good as any in the country.
Oh, hell yeah. That is an old school spot.
I have, due to a tick bite, become allergic to mammal meat.The lex bbq smoked Turkey soothes mysoul and is the bomb.
sauce and slaw on the Sammie completes the trifecta. Do it.
Likely, tho I haven’t seen a tick on me in years. We camp and hike in SW Virginia a lot and the Lone Star is prevalent there. I nearly tapped out one day after having an Italian sub for lunch.
My best friend's wife is the same. She spent a bunch of time in the hospital before they figured out what it was.
I first experienced alpha-gal in late January last year. A couple of hours after eating an Italian sub I began to itch like crazy, starting on my upper back and then hives ensued. I took a couple of Benadryl pills and got pretty quick relief. WTH?
A month later on a work trip, once again hours after a sub for lunch, the itching and massive hives started. Took some Benadryl and told my crowd that I was gonna chill out a bit.
Got dizzy, passed out and was “unresponsive“ when my crew checked in on me.
After kinda waking up, EMT asked me if I realized I was in shock and my response was basically “If you say so…” They could not find a pulse at first and they were getting a bit nervous.
A couple of fluid bags and an Epi pen later, I walked out of the emergency room.
Allergy Doc “tentatively” attributes it to alpha-gal and I had a yearly checkup recently.
Oddly enough, after a turkey Sammie today, there was a mild episode that Benadryl contained. Likely cross contamination at the sandwich shop. I always quiz about ingredients and ask for the prep folks to use clean gloves.
No mammal meat products… losing bacon and bbq hurts the mostest.
Best wishes to your buddy’s wife.

Gelatin can cause reactions as well since a lot of it is derived from cows and pigs. Some of the more processed deli meats contain gelatin among other things. Tick born illnesses are really strange and hard to trace. It's crazy what damage those things can do.
I do avoid gelatin as much as possible, but have not traced an “episode” to gelatin intake.
Thankfully dairy products elicit no reaction. My intake of fowl and seafood has ticked upwards, as well as more veggie focused meals.
