:: Radio boards and gossip site All Access are reporting what has been rumored for weeks: Comedian Steve Harvey is apparently departing his gig as the morning drive DJ on 100.3 The Beat (KKBT-FM). Harvey will leave the station at the end of the month and be replaced by former basketball star John Salley, who spent time filling in for Harvey last month.
:: Construction has finally begun on the downtown Ralphs supermarket, reports the Downtown News.
Writes the paper: Last week, crews began digging for the 50,000-square-foot store, which will become Downtown's first new supermarket in decades. Jeff Lee, president of developer the Lee Group, said crews are excavating and creating a physical support system for the store, which is part of the $110 million second phase of South Village. The construction will take about two years, with the first noticeable pieces going into place this summer...
The Lee Group was brought on in February to develop the project's second phase, which includes the grocery store and 267 condominiums on five levels called Market Top Flats.
:: LAist is on the hunt for L.A.'s best burger.
I'm not a huge burger consumer, so I defer to the experts on this one. The usual suspects have all been mentioned: Apple Pan, Father's Office, Pie N Burger, Cassell's and BBQ King, just to mention a few.
Joyrides/Martini Republic blogger Joseph writes that L.A. lost its "best burger" when the All-American Thai Cafe on Rowena shut down:
There is now only a "least objectionable" burger in LA. That would be the Myrtle Burger at the Rustic. It has a considerable pedigree--the clientele, even most of the help don't even know why it's called a Myrtle burger anymore (former proprietor, fifteen years ago)--and a formidably devoted following. Basically a bacon cheeseburger but with ingredients that don't skimp and hang out all over the plate, it is the signature offering of a fine establishment. Being proximate to antler chandeliers doesn't hurt a burger either.
