Why Lowriders and Backyard Burgers Define East L.A. | The Burger Show

It’s no secret that Los Angeles has minted stars in the burger world. But for many natives, it’s the homegrown, backyard burger traditions that keep the burger scene here alive and well. Just ask Alvin, whose childhood growing up in East L.A. is filled with memories of grilling burgers on Sundays and watching the area’s famous lowrider clubs cruise the boulevard. Today, he’s linking up with Together Car Club to talk shop about the communal power of backyard burgers and why lowriders and grilling go hand-in-hand.

The Burger Show
First We Feast's "The Burger Show" explores everything about modern burger culture—from the rise of tricked-out, gourmet burgers, to the pride of regional burgers—through the eyes of Eggslut chef, Alvin Cailan. Alvin's breakfast-sandwich empire in Los Angeles put him on the culinary map, but it's burgers that are his true passion. Now he's on a quest to understand what drives his obsession, traveling around the country to New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Connecticut and Chicago, and he's linking up with folks like Seth Rogen, Adam Richman, Padma Lakshmi, Matty Matheson, Binging With Babish, and burger expert George Motz to help him along the way. The show launched in February 2018 and new episodes drop Tuesdays at 11AM on First We Feast.
