LA’s Best Underground Burger Pops Up For One Day on the Eastside

Burgers are back

The Burgers Never Say Die crew is getting behind the stove again, popping up for one day only at Glendale Tap this Sunday, June 10.

The event is 21-and-up only (given that it’s at a bar) and cash only. 4227 San Fernando Road in Glendale.

Ojai beers news

The Artisanal Brewer’s Collective just picked up a well-known out of town property, snagging the rights to the shuttered East End Restaurant and Bar in Ojai.
