Burger Town unearths the origins of the hamburger and traces its ascent into popular cultural icon status. It also shows why Los Angeles can lay claim to taking its burgers more seriously than any other city in America. From the Pacific Coast Highway to sprawling east LA desert towns, Los Angeles is home to some of the greatest hamburger palaces and coffee shops in America. Richard J. McDonald, who co-founded McDonald's Hamburgers along with his brother Mac, tells the early story of the most successful fast food chain in history. America's foremost burger historians are interviewed as well. Burger Town also chronicles the rise of other national burger chains and tours the best and most colorful burger joints in Los Angeles. Packed with clips of vintage burger commercials, nostalgic clips clips of early burger joints and a look at the post World War II space age "Googie" architecture of Drive-Ins and Coffee Shops, Burger Town is a mouth-watering look at America's love affair with the hamburger.
