HAPPY HALLOWEEN! (and foodie adventure)
Back on October 11th, we headed out to Irv’s Burgers. I started seeing ads for Irv’s a couple of months ago on Facebook. But it’s when I saw that they have been around since 1946, I decided I had to check them out. How could they have been around so long and I never knew about them?
There are three in the Los Angeles area; one in Malibu, North Hollywood and in the Fairfax District. They are all about half an hour from where I live, so we went to the one in Malibu. Oh, and there is a new one that just opened up in Las Vagas – a bit farther away.
I love a pastrami burger. I haven’t had one since I used to visit a friend in Orange County. Unfortunately, when we got there, they were out of pastrami. Kris wanted a bacon western burger, but they were out of bacon, too. So, I just got the regular burger and Kris left to get a pizza next door. Chili cheese fries go good with a burger, but… they were out of cheese. And while I was there, I had to try one of their shakes which I keep hearing are really good. Oh, but their shake machine was broken.
I guess you can’t do much about a broken shake machine. But why were they out of pastrami, bacon and cheese? We were there at 5:30 pm and they are open until 9:00 pm.
This was the burger and fries I got. It was good, but not worth the 40-minute drive it took to get there. I could have gotten better from the In-And-Out five minutes from my house. So, I guess you could call this a foodie misadventure.
I’d be willing to give them another shot in the future, maybe even the one in Vegas.

This is the burger I should have had, the Double Angus Burger at Carl’s Junior. (We got it a couple of days later, and yes, it was practically within walking distance of the house.)
