A double-patty smash burger flooded with thin meaty chili, served wrapped in paper at a 24-hour walk-up window. The classic LA late-night chili-burger format.
Original Tommy's opened in May 1946 on the corner of Beverly and Rampart, founded by Tom Koulax, the son of Greek immigrants, with one rule: every burger gets a ladle of house chili poured directly over the patty in front of the customer. The Koulax family still operates the original shack 24 hours; the chili recipe is closely held. Tommy's spawned a chili-burger sub-genre across LA that defines the city's late-night burger tradition, distinct from the In-N-Out fast-food canon.
