The
city of West Hollywood fucked Irv's Burgers. There's no other way to
really put it. This city fucks residents and businesses all the time
but this one felt particularly messed up. I have lived in this city
for almost 22 years now and first went to Irv's at its original
location diagonal to City Hall. It was a good spot. If you didn't
want to spend three times as much at Hamburger Mary's and didn't want
to hoof it up to Sunset for a burger elsewhere this place was good.
It improved after the new owners took over in 2000. Even if you were
in a bad mood you couldn't help but cheer up a bit when you saw Sonia
Hong or her mother there. Hell, even last year I would see her
walking burgers down the street. Sonia would draw a little cartoon on
the packages and write “Just for you!” on it.
