When I first moved to LA, there was a tiny standalone Fatburger stand in Beverly Hills that my colleagues and I went for lunch. It's closed now, but this one is nearby. The same great burger, but in a different location. Always get the fat fries!

VERY touristy - but if you're going to check out Hollywood Boulevard (and you've gotta do it at least once). this is the place to start and finish. Park underground, grab dinner at one of the restaurants, and then walk up and down the boulevard checking out all the stars on the Hollywood walk of fame.

I was on vacation here in 1999 visiting The Getty and looking at the amazing art when my cell phone rang with a job interview in Beverly Hills. I went to the interview wearing shorts and a T-shirt, but somehow I landed the job and ended up moving here from Stillwater, Oklahoma to Beverly Hills, California! I truly felt like a Beverly Hillbilly.
