Original Tommy's   

Customers don't have much to choose from at Tommy's, which is exactly the way they want it. First opened in 1946, Tommy's has captured Angelenos' hearts and cracked their weight scales with a simple, heart-stopping menu of hot dogs, tamales and burgers loaded with a thick coating of Tommy's chili. Some find a taste of heaven in the Tommy's Original, which somehow manages to fit a 100% all-beef patty, a double-thick slice of cheese, slabs of tomato, chopped onions and a couple of pickles between two buns, while others take advantage of Tommy's "made-to-order at no extra charge" policy, opting for a scaled-down patty. The limited menu makes it hard for even the most indecisive to ruminate over choices, and with Tommy's locations open 24 hours a day, it's only a matter of time until you're on the receiving end of a chunky wedge of salty fry or juicy burger.
