Tommy’s is only in LA area (OC, SD, and Vegas included).
as one of their first customers dating back to when they only had their flagship stand at Beverly/Rampart....I definitely miss Tommy’s, a lot
on the other hand, I used to be able to eat 3 of them no problem at 3am. now could never finish even a single one.
I am appetite-challenged these days, alas!
i do think 5guys are pretty good (just too expensive is all)
I used to go to that same one when I worked in downtown L.A.. Been to a few of the others, but the food at that one always seemed to taste better.
I used to order two all the time but don't think I ever tried three. Saw it done once.
Here's a trivia question for you. Do you recall back about 1970 there was a paper shortage--logger's strike or something--so Tommy's HAD NO NAPKINS!? The only thing they had were those wax-papery liners to clean the chili off your hands. Didn't seem to hurt business any, though.
