It's always nice when L.A. laps the rest of the country and arrives right where the rest of us are. This week: burgers = good!

Need proof? Kate Beckinsale's on board.

Need more? Even better, the L.A. Times cranks out an opus to the greatness of burgers.

The Ford would mock this more (is that lawn clippings on one of the burgers pictured? Parsley?) but he's getting sorta hungry.

To be expected from the guy who had to make a Jack In The Box run midway through "Fast-Food Nation," The Ford supposes.
