"There's just something about the chili, especially on a double cheeseburger with pickles and onions, that makes everyone an immediate fan."
on Chili Burger
"In the decades since, it's become a veritable burger landmark in L.A., known for its old-school burgers topped with viscous brown chili; for being open 24 hours a day; and for its countless unlicensed imitators."
on Chili Burger
"After a few deep breaths, I heaved the burger off the tray and took a bite. The first bite was shockingly delicious. The chili, which I was expecting to be the downfall of a perfectly decent (albeit fast food) burger actually transformed it from something ordinary to something unique (and I dare say, special)."
on Chili Burger
"Others might try to copy the name, but the chili is a secret recipe and that's not so easy to copy."
on Chili Burger
"Probably the only real contender to In-N-Out's dominance in L.A., Tommy's still does a good chili-burger that boasts an incredibly thick chili and well-constructed burgers loaded with chopped onions, tomatoes, and mustard."
on Chili Burger
"Their chili is cooked on sight in big barrels making their chili cheese burger the one to rival others; meat on meat at its freshest and best."
on Chili Burger
"Ask any Angeleno where to go for a great chili burger and the likely answer is "The corner of Rampart and Beverly," where Tommy's has been in business since 1946."
on Chili Burger
"While, the burgers themselves aren't much, the topping is a sloppy blob of impressively tasty chili that seems to have magically addictive powers."
on Chili Burger
"This medium-thick patty is served with a thick slice of tomato (a lot of people I know discard it before eating but not me) and a gloppy dollop of Tommy’s chili. This stuff is totally unique, and I’m pretty sure the city of Los Angeles repairs potholes with it."
