Grill ‘Em All

Downtown Alhambra, California essentially won the lottery with the residency of one of the few places where the culinary arts, heavy metal & professional wrestling authentically collide, Grill ‘Em All.

Founded by underground music & wrestling enthusiasts, Ryan Harkins & Matthew Chernus in late 2009, Grill ‘Em All’s initial inception was as a food truck traveling around the greater Los Angeles area. Going on to win Food Network’s first Great Food Truck Race, la forte demande pour ces burgers féroces est devenue si importante que les camions (Beast et Son of Beast) were put to rest (of course in an honorary Viking funeral) and the brick and mortar restaurant made its debut.

The menu pays homage to the legends of all facets of heavy music, as well as craft beers and a revolving menu of specialty burgers. 

Actuellement, notre groupe hardcore préféré Terror & l'électrisante recrue de la WWE, Aliester Black, figurent au palmarès du burger du mois de Grill ‘Em All avec le One With the Underdog (nommé d'après l'album One With The Underdogs de Terror).

The aesthetic of the restaurant is every Heavy Metal or Professional Wrestling fanatics dream. The walls are lined with memorabilia as the TV plays some of the Attitude Era’s most classic matches.

We were lucky enough to get a first hand look at the magic behind the scenes. Showcased above are the Behemoth (1/2 lb. beef patty on grilled cheese buns, BBQ sauce, bacon & pickles), un classique tout simple, le Winger aka the Stewart (1/2 lb. beef patty with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, thousand island dressing, added avocado) & le Jump in the Fryer (1/2 lbs. beef patty on waffle buns, cheddar cheese, fried chicken, bacon, maple syrup, sriracha).

En vedette : One With the Underdog (LA street dog on a 1/2 lb. beef patty, grilled jalapeños, onions, peppers, pepper jack cheese, jalapeño bacon).

Nous sommes tombés par hasard sur le guitariste principal de Terror, Martin Stewart pour prendre un portrait avec le One With the Underdog.

Le Cowboy From Hell (galette de bœuf de 1/2 lb avec poulet effiloché BBQ, bacon au jalapeño, cheddar, laitue, oignon rouge, aïoli à l'ail) était l'un des favoris de l'équipe. 

C'était. Tout simplement. DÉMENT!!!

Un merci spécial au Ryan Harkins (left) for the generous hospitality & mouthwatering eats. Here he poses with Grill ‘Em All’s lead chef & designer Kenny, who shared some fresh upcoming designs.

Verdict global : Grill ‘Em All est brutal! Passez y faire un tour pour votre festin gastronomique métal.
