bun n burger
Alhambra, CA
When Charles Phoenix, the king of kitsch and americana, tells you to check something out, you know what you do? You take it as gospel and you check it out!
It was early November 2018, the opening night reception for the Signs United "Signs of Life" gallery show at The Perfect Exposure Gallery in Alhambra. I had four photos in the show. Charles Phoenix was there that night, and we started talking about the Alhambra area, which was unfamiliar to me. He asked if I'd seen Bun n Burger yet and when finding out I hadn't (I hadn't even heard of it, to be honest), he said it was a must.
And so my hubby and I made sure to go before heading home, not only to shoot the absolutely amazing neon waiter but also to eat. The food was yummy and the sign was oh-so-memorable. If you're in the Los Angeles area and want to see a great old diner -- opened in 1941! -- make sure to head to Alhambra.
