Patra’s, my favorite burger joint of all time in Echo Park, is closing its doors following this weekend. A staple in the neighborhood for over 50 years, there are countless families—mine included—who have relied on the team there for an affordable breakfast, lunch or dinner for generations, and who will now miss it indefinitely as a new landlord seeks a new profit margin from the land.
If you’re in the neighborhood, please check it out to grab one of their world-famous charbroiled burgers while you still can, or tell someone you know!! Their absolute last day is on Monday, the 23rd, the day–or night–just before Christmas Eve. Below you’ll also find a collection of comments by those who came to know and love Patra’s regarding its sudden and heartbreaking loss.
There will also be more to note soon; for now, please just stay vigilant, stay tuned, and continue supporting local.
PATRA CHARBROILED BURGERS FOREVER!!
