-Weekend-Whaddup-Father’s Day Edition
It’s that time, no it’s not national pet rock day or pasta day… but it is Father’s Day weekend. Have the kids make dad a card, bring him breakfast in bed (although I prefer breakfast out-hint-hint) and just let dad know he is more than a ride to school, someone to take out the trash, and a reminder to clean up your room.
There is also a ton to do around town, so here we go… this is your Weekend-Whaddup!

Best Burger/Fries?
To some, finding a great hamburger and fries is a hobby… to others it’s a lifelong pursuit. I have found many that I’ve loved… many more that I liked… it’s been my favorite food for as long as I can remember. It’s not just a great burger, but a great burger and fries together that makes a great burger joint.
I’m want to know what your favorite burgers are here in Studio City.
Give me your list.
Go!
