The burger chain Smashburger has applied for a conditional use permit to serve alcohol at a proposed location in the Huntington Oaks shopping center, the Monrovia Now blog reported Wednesday.
Smashburger would be one of four tenants in a new building that will replace the old Acapulco restaurant and construction should begin in February, Monrovia planning division manager Craig Jimenez told the blog.
Smashburger's mission is built around a unique way of cooking burgers by literally smashing them into the grill.
"Place your order and we spring into action, painting the grill with real butter, adding a dash of our secret spice blend, and smashing the meatball with a tool we invented ourselves...," the chain's website explains. "Smashing caramelizes the beef, creating a sear that locks in the juices as no other cooking method can."
A book store would be nice...I wish Vroman's would come back
I was at John Wayne Airport that afternoon when the In N Out CEO"s plane crashed. I saw the plane seconds before it crashed. I knew something was going wrong. Never will I forget that day.
I think the same tightening of the laws needs to happen with guns. The second amendment was established so that people could protect themselves not so they could have access to guns in order to cut short innocent lives. Something is wrong with gun regulation in this country when we see such horrific gun violence on a regular basis. I am not saying to get rid of guns, I am just saying we need to look at how guns are made available so that we can curtail the gun violence. And finally, yes you have the right to buy guns, but in light of the recent tragedy in Newtown CT, it would have been a kindness to yield expressing your opinion publicly to put in a gun shop.
