Tommy's Hamburgers is one of those LA icons that I drive past every day, and that I've never stopped at, and very probably never will (you are much more likely to find me eating a taco than a burger, any day). Tommy's has been there since ... they change their sign every year, in May - 1946, when it was started by Tom Koulax, the son of Greek immigrants. It expanded further onto this lot, and then onto the opposite corner, and now has a whole lot of other locations. Apparently. I've just found this out from their website, after checking the date of their founding. At the same time I find they serve a chili tamale, which makes them marginally more tempting - but I doubt it. And, nb, it's a regular eating place for cops. But I do love the architecture.
Also, it poured - absolutely poured - last night, and these thick clouds are just wandering away.
