Read moreAlright, burger aficionados, I've just experienced burger nirvana, and it's called Hi-Ho Burger in Encino. Forget everything you thought you knew about patties and buns, because Hi-Ho is rewriting the burger rulebook.
Let's start with the meat. They use 100% grass-fed Wagyu beef, and you can taste the difference. It's rich, juicy, and melts in your mouth like butter.
This isn't your average ground beef; this is a culinary masterpiece between two buns. Each bite is a symphony of flavor. The best part is the meat is Halal.
They don't overload their burgers with a million toppings. They let the quality of the ingredients shine. It's a classic done to absolute perfection. The fries? Crispy, golden, and perfectly salted. They're the ideal companion to the burger, and you'll find yourself fighting for the last one. The fries are served in a freaking awesome brown paper bag with holes in the shape of H. A very artistic touch. Picture is included below.
But it's not just the food that makes Hi-Ho so special. It's the atmosphere. It's clean, and inviting. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, clearly passionate about their burgers. And there is a feeling of a place that cares about quality.
This isn't just a burger joint; it's an experience. It's a reminder of what a truly great burger should taste like. It's a testament to the power of simple ingredients done exceptionally well. If you're looking for the best burger in Encino, scratch that, the best burger period, head to Hi-Ho Burger. You won't be disappointed. In fact, you'll probably be planning your next visit before you've even finished your first bite. Prepare to have your burger expectations shattered and your taste buds forever grateful.

Read moreBeware! High crimes against potatoes!
I kept hearing about how amazing HiHo was in particular how amazing their "Ashton" French fries are.
I'm a vegetarian so I can only rate the veggie burger, and it was quite decent. So this is really a review of their fries...
And they are shocking.
So...the "French fries". They're really potato travesties.
If you were the first Belgian, encountering a potato, and you thought "let's cut it up and fry it" (only you'd say faison frire ça! Or something like that because you were Belgian...) you could be excused for creating burnt, greasy, floppy masses. You didn't have the mens rea to be convicted of massacring potatoes by the pound. It was a first guess. Good for you for trying, random Belgian in 1700s!
The world moved on and with it probably millions of person-hours and food science have been pored over perfecting the French fry. Starting with rinsing off the excess starch so it doesn't have that unpleasant burnt taste. Double or even triple frying them. Maybe adding a freezing step to help break down the potato cells, and possibly even a preboil step depending on technique to technique and potato thickness. Then there's controlling your fry temperatures to ensure a light golden crispy crust that won't flop and won't leave the fry a greasy sponge.
You know what isn't okay in 2024? Just cutting up a potato, dunking it in some approximately hot oil like the very first try, calling it a day, and charging 5 dollars for them. Ashton, what have you done? How dare you?!
I demand justice for the butchered spuds!!! Where's our useless DA when...
