Tommy’s Burgers Opens Location – San Diegans Lose Their Sh*t

Monday, February 20, 2006 16:02

Anyone who's ever lived in Los Angeles or has ever been to our fair neighbor to the north has probably been to Tommy's Hamburgers. For the uninitiated, Tommy's offers a one-of-a-kind experience. To call it a "chili burger" is a disservice. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a reformed ...

San Diego Democrats

Saturday, August 7, 2004 17:34

Sunday, June 22, 2003 21:25
