I have never been fuller with a hamburger than at Joey’s Cafe in West Hollywood.
I picked my buddy up from the airport, so he treated me. There’s nothing like a local to take you to the best spots.
Joey’s offers omelettes, burgers, salads, Mexican food. It’s continental casual cuisine. The setting is slightly upscale. The servers are friendly.
My California burger was super juicy. It had fresh avocado, bacon and cheddar and jack cheeses. Burgers should NOT be served with American cheese. There ought to be a rule that burgers should be served with cheddar, or some real cheese.
My coffee was decent, and my buddy enjoyed his peppermint tea. The eggwhite omelette was great.

The author sells 10-inch bamboo steamers on Amazon to broaden your culinary cooking experience. They are great for vegetables, fish and especially Chinese buns and dumplings that can be picked up frozen in specialty food markets and warmed to perfection, almost as good as the restaurant.
