the great quest...part 2

 

So the Great Quest has begun! There are dozens of Top Ten lists for the best burger in LA floating around the interwebs so I decided to pick and choose some of the interesting ones out of the lists. But I also decided to dig deep into the underbelly of the city and find my “El Dorado”… the burger version that it.

Each restaurant has it’s own flair and it’s own charm. It’s hard to gauge each place on a equal playing field since there is so much that goes into the experience of eating. It’s easy to judge the burger alone, but that is only half the fun. It is about ambiance… or lack there of. It is about service. It is about the people who dine there. But most of all, it is about your level of satisfaction when you have devoured the food. In lieu of this, I’ll be putting each burger joint into a category and choosing the best one from each.

is that grill kosher?


While I've been planning out the first few stages of my great quest , I stumbled across a great list of crazy BBQ pits on Funny or Die . This list has some of the wackiest homemade grills I have ever seen. And trust me I have seen some wacky grills. Don't believe me, huh. Well, nobody likes you either. So there. Take that. 

I've posted a few of the best after the jump.

the great quest...

 
My first project for the website is a mighty quest to find the best burger in Los Angeles. I know what you may think; that this is a barbeque site and I should be searching for the best rib joint or smokehouse. I agree and I will get to those soon. But for the time being, it is the perfect burger that I seek. A burger so delicious that I will forgive my native city of it's sins...well, not all of them.

Our mission here at The Barbeque Life is to give you some guidance in and around the grill. We’ve always found many of the large barbequing sites and books to be centered around expensive and time intensive options and the TV show cooks to be quite pretentious.
