First things first. Happy bday, Emily!!
On her actually birthday (March 4th) a slew of us friends ventured over to Stout in Hollywood! After a verbal punk rawk lashing from me, Emily had an awesome time! Even though I love to try new and exotic things, sometimes a great burger is just what you need. :)

Their selection of burgers hides in the shadows of their huge beer list!!
However, I think I have met the grand-daddy of all amazing burgers. It is the Morning After Burger.
Topped with a fried egg that is still gooey inside*, BACON and chipotle ketchup. How can anything in this universe go wrong with bacon!?!?!?!
Interestingly enough, this amazingness is not listed on their website!
The Goombah (beef bugerg with pamaisano flakes, smoked mozzarella, crispy prosciutto, roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic), Shu (beef burger with pepper jack, light bell spread, grilled avocado, and chipotle spread), and Imperalist (beef burger with caramelized onions, aged cheddar, bacon chips, stout ketchup, and mustard relish) are on my wait list. They do have chicken and vegetarian choices, but I want a real burger, thank you very much! And why do I have to live close enough to walk here?!?!?!?
Please notice the Seasoned Fries (which are kinda hard to see), they are shoelace style, the Sweet Potato Fries, and the huge Onion Rings. I was in greasy food HEAVEN!!!
And for beers, delicious wheat laden beers. I started out with the Old Speckled Hen, but after tasting my friends Blanche De Bruxelles (Thanks, Jen), I had to get a glass.
We all had an amazing night.
Try out Stout for yourself.
*Now, I would love to say that I share many things in common with cook/restauranteur Anthony Bourdain. (Im sure you know who he is. If not, please check out NO RESERVATIONS on the Travel Channel. ) But the one thing we do share, and will always share – we love runny eggs… I cannot get enough of them. Delicious and gooey, it is some sort of weird comfort food for me.
