The Win-Dow

American Beauty’s casual burger walk-up in Venice has become so popular it's spurred standalone locations in Silver Lake and Long Beach, and there’s good reason for it—it serves one of the best, most affordable smashburgers in town. For only $4.35 you can snag a straightforward, wholly satisfying single patty with American cheese, house sauce and grilled onions on a potato bun just a few blocks from Venice Beach. Really hungry? The double will only set you back $7.50. At the Silver Lake location, you can also pick up dipped soft-serve cones in flavors like mint chip and salted caramel. Look out for a new location opening in Hollywood later this year.
