    • NileGuide Expert tip:

    This one at Beverly and Rampart dates from 1946. Their chili burger does have its charms; perhaps it is best appreciated late at night after a drink or two.

    • Description:

    • The Scene
      The original Original Tommy's is a far cry from the sanitized, white-tile chain it spawned. The kitchen is a shack, the dining room is a parking lot, and Angelenos couldn't be happier. At any hour of the day or night, expect to find folks from all walks of life wiping their satisfied mugs with paper towels from dispensers located every two feet along the outdoor stand-up counter.

      The Food
      When Mom cooks, the extra ingredient is love. When Tommy's cooks, the secret's in the chili. Give in to your inner glutton and enjoy a meaty burger smothered in the orange, gloppy stuff. The medium-thick beef patty oozing chili con carne, cheddar cheese and mustard redeems itself with diced raw onion, dill pickles and a thick-cut slice of beefsteak tomato. Perfectly plumped all-beef dogs, hefty tamales and chunky golden fries are absolutely delicious when coated with the industrial-strength chili.

      Good for anytime, great for late night.

    • Cheeseburger with extra onions and extra chilli, hold the pickles! Lines get crazy during lunch hour and late night, but well worth the wait.
