The Stand Arcadia Burger Shoppe – Phoenix, Arizona
Bill’s Burgers – Los Angeles, California
In a glitzy and cosmopolitan metropolis like Los Angeles, it’s difficult to picture a burger shop that has managed to maintain tradition for decades – yet that’s exactly what Bill’s Burgers accomplishes. Bill Elwell, 94, is something of a legend among his patrons, having been flipping and grilling burgers in the same old restaurant since 1965. The menu is simple, and the burgers are made up of lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, and cheese – but the added flavor makes them mouth-wateringly excellent.
