The Real Burger King

When I was younger, one of my favorite places to dine was a local burger chain called Woody's Smorgasburger. There are, alas, no more Woody's Smorgasburgers but there are places that emulated their then-unique format of serving you a nude burger and allowing you to dress it yourself at a little bar that offered ketchup, mustard, onions, pickles, mayo, etc. Or maybe some of those places came up with the idea on their own, I dunno. Anyway, Sam Gnerre writes about these fine eateries which have been discussed aplenty at one of our sister websites, Old L.A. Restaurants.
